⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Kerin crafts a tense narrative centered on Mia’s exhaustion from managing her mother Izzy’s vampiric hunger. The story excels in depicting the isolation of maintaining a terrible secret, making the introduction of Jade a pivotal moment for potential freedom. By focusing on the internal struggle for autonomy rather than external threats, the book offers a fresh perspective on vampire lore. It suits readers who enjoy psychological depth and familial bonds twisted by supernatural elements, though those seeking traditional gothic settings may find it lacking in atmospheric historical context.
