This Ravenous Fate by Hayley Dennings
4.0

I’m still processing how I felt about this story. There was a lot going on with lots of moving pieces and characters. These poor girls are 17-18 going through all this trauma and awful family dynamics. Layla and Elise are beautiful misunderstood forces of nature with some upsetting history.

Daddy Saint is an abusive jerk who I was so upset that he didn’t get what was coming to him.

And Sterling - I have no words. Just pure anger

Pros -
- diversity
- sapphic
- jazz/speakeasy
- unexpected twists


Mehs -
- I had a hard time with the reaper terminology for what is essentially vampires.
- reaper venom needed clarity on its uses and how it was distributed
- I felt like a needed a red yarn map to keep up with who was doing what and working with who to trick all the people.
