I've been in a vampiric reading mood lately-- and  this book is exactly what I was craving all along.

This was such a poetic, powerful and moving experience.

 "You did not let me keep my name, so I will strip you of yours. In this world, you are what I say you are, and I say you are a ghost, a long night's fever dream that I have finally woken up from. I say you are the smoke-wisp memory of a flame, thawing ice suffering under an early spring sun, a chalk ledger of debts being wiped clean."

 "You turned a strong-minded girl into a pulsing wound of need."

This was such an intricate depiction of toxic behavior, covert abuse and manipulation in relationships, and an exploration of isolation and what it means to live as an undead creature. I absolutely loved the writing.

 "You made it into an art form, this quiet sort of violence. You were so far into our heads your gentle suggestions so often felt like our own thoughts."
This quote perfectly explains the relationship between our main characters. And I feel like the author didn't just write about their dynamics, but she really understood it. 
One critique I have of this book is that I just wanted more...
