It pains to say and do this to another novel that arc I manifested so bad. Not to also mention, the very first novel from the author I read.
The idea and concept are there. I have to acknowledge that a supposed to be gothic, dark, seductive, sapphic vampire story that features these elements alongside Dracula is something that die-hard vampire readers like me really want to read.
The first few chapters left me intrigued after that strong prologue, so of course, I had my expectations. However, the execution is just something that didn't work on this, nor the writing.
Not to mention the characters that I would say were so boring. There's nothing seductive about them nor the writing at all. It doesn't even feel like a vampire novel, nor anything Dracula like inspired story at all.
It honestly just feels like it's written just to be written, and the content here isn't something that's been thought well.
Long story short, I was disappointed. I wanted to DNF this many times, but I relented because who knows, it might even be a little decent past 60-ish?
Thank you, Del Rey, for publishing for the e-arc opportunity.
