Psychologically Keen
Spoiler alert!
A short but pleasant read! I like the dilemma where we as the reader can't tell if the relationship with Camilla is real or induced. Heather thinks it's real, but didn't she think her relationship with Chloe was real too?
Not sure if the name 'Camilla' is a nod to 'Carmilla', but the instant I learned her name I knew she was the vampire (already suspected though).
Appreciated how the story didn't end with the 'protagonist-becomes-vampire' trope.
I also liked how the story didn't go deep into the social politics of vampire society. Not that I couldn't enjoy that; this time I enjoyed how Keen focused on characters instead of world building.

Whuuuudd?
I am not sure what was really going on in this story. The writing style of this author is too cryptic and confusing. It was very hard to follow this story and what was happening. There is NOT once where the author truly finished a dialogue properly that would even explain what was being said or even happening. What was up with her friend, where was she, and who is she? The lady with the umbrella, what is really going on? 86 pages and I have no idea what this story was about. The crazy dynamic of the MC’s own family is just as weird. I am not sure I want to continue to the next book in the series if it is written in this same fashion. Weird characters, hard to understand relationships and dialogue.
There is no background information, nothing to go on.
