2.5

I had every expectation that I would love this book. Horror fantasy with queer vampires is completely up my alley. But it just didn't deliver in the way I would have liked. I've seen some other reviews compare it to fanfic or mention that the author writes fanfic and that tracks. I think I'd have enjoyed this a lot more on ao3, but not so much as a published work.
