Status Updates From Vampires Never Get Old: Tal...

Story 8. 3.5 stars. The story seemed really interesting and I would have loved to know more about her talking with animals and what happened to her and what would happen next. Dystopians stress me out too much though and the setting being dystopian Chicago really made me anxious.

Story 7: 3 stars. Theo was annoying. I liked Brittany. I would have liked this more as a horror. It had a lot of potential to take the story into an interesting direction bc I did like the setting.

Story 6: 3 stars. This brought up an interesting idea of how much healing does vampirism actually achieve and what mercy can look like.

"Senior Year Sucks" by Julie Murphy - 3.75

Kind of wish we got more of this story but this might be better haha

Story 4: 3.5 stars - I liked Will and how he handled everything and the ending.
Story 5: 2.5 stars - I didn’t really enjoy the format of this.

Story 3 - 3 stars. I think this was just too short for the plot to work. It felt a bit disjointed and there was no room to even begin to root for a romance. I also think generally the author just isn’t for me.

Story 2: 4.5 stars - I liked that the story had more of a horror setup. I would have liked a different ending

Story 1: 2 stars. I liked the vampire lore of how to become one, but otherwise a snooze. Not much was said in this story and I HATE centuries old vampire sleeping with a literal child (17). Sounds like he was already 25-30 when turned, so double the ick.
