This book is not what I expected. I'm not sure what I was expecting specifically but I know I was expecting a fun time based on the title alone. I did not get a fun time. Instead I spent most of it grossed out by not vampire gore specific descriptions and then angry at a bunch of gaslighting men who were honestly worse than our supposed "vampire" (if that's indeed what this guy even was). I definitely do not recommend this book, especially if you are a vampire book fan.
Graphic: Body horror, Rape, Self harm, Suicide attempt, Death of parent, Gaslighting
