So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison
3.0
I really enjoyed this take on vampires specifically the fact that the vampires weren’t as immortal as vampires typically are in media. I think it made the premise of vampires very intriguing since they did still need to care for their lives and take caution in certain circumstances. I definitely wouldn’t be a fan of this all the time but for this book it worked.
I found the friendship dynamics between Sloane and Naomi to be interesting. How they still valued each other above all else despite the fact they got on each other’s nerves through the entirety of the book. The romance between Henry and Sloane felt sorta rushed but I guess that can be really typical for vampire romances. I definitely wouldn’t call this a romance book. I’d consider it literary fiction. I did however find Henry to be charming at times and routed for him despite the rush of their relationship and interest in each other.
The grappling with humanity Sloane went through was something I haven’t seen quite as much in the vampire media I’ve consumed and honestly I found it quite annoying. It was a good representation of how someone would feel being turned into a vampire but at times I found her feelings about Naomi to be self-righteous and just hard to endure.
Still though I did enjoy the book and I would recommend it to those who are looking for a more humanity driven book about vampires!
