I love Laurie already, I can't not love him, I'm so charmed by everything he says or does 🤣 he's so sarcastic and funny. also, oh that thumb brushing mouth scene CHEFS KISS

why is this book so long there's not enough plot for it to be this long 😭😭😭

loustat vibes....

I'm actually genuinely enjoying this so much. the whimsical, old-timey fairy tale style of writing, the mythology, the sense of adventure

I really loved the first 1/3 of this book, but now it's dragging so much 😭😭😭 there's not been enough plot for 500+ pages man

paused until I can borrow the physical copy from the library I just know this is going to be a 5 star read when I'm done

this book is so boring godbless

excellent plot so far. though i find sciona aggravating 😭

I hate this book so much when will it end 😭😭😭 if not for the reading challenge I would NOT read this

if not for the reading challenge, I would never read this book. let's see how far I can make it 😣

sciona is so insufferable lmao, such a love-to-hate character for me. anyways, otherwise this book is an excellent critique of colonization, racism, patriarchy and classism

i absolutely loved the first 1/3 of this book, but this middle part is srsly dragging 😭😭 and I absolutely loved maría in the first 1/3 too but why does it feel like her character is not as likeable now..........

when will Charlotte appear I need my toxic lesbian vampire romance 😩🙏

"“Everything inside me is in ruins,” Thomas said. “For you.”
MOST ROMANTIC FUCKING LINE THAT IVE READ IN A WHILE OUGH OUGH OUGH WHAT IF I REDACTED
they're sooo codependent and toxic but that's exactly my kind of ship

I forgive the prose being melodramatic and sometimes purple prose, bc C.G. Drews writes unhealthy, codependent, toxic, possessive, obsessive gay best friendships soo well. its hitting all the right spots for me. the horror parts are so creepy too. im so hooked

is2g C.G. Drews GETS codependent toxic obsessive possessive gay best friendships. they write them sooo well. it hits all the right spots. im gonna have to read their other books too. chewing glass.

I don't like that Matteo keeps lowkey mansplaining Sabine 😭 let my girl live bro

the prose is too edgy and pretentious to be describing high schoolers lmao. but I love the codependent toxic obsessive gay best friendship

feeling very represented by this codependent obsessive toxic homoerotic best friendship

"...charcoal smudged near his mouth. It was painful how Andrew noticed Thomas’s mouth like that."

SEE? WHAT DID I TELL YOU? YES, YOU DO WANT TO KISS HIM😭😭😭

I swear this book was written for queer ppl who had a codependent obsessive homoerotic best friend situationship

"so maybe the only reason he didn’t want Thomas to kiss Dove was so their trio wouldn’t change—not because he wanted to kiss Thomas. Or maybe he … did?"

[takes Andrew by the shoulders] yes you do want to kiss him dont tell yourself that it's just platonic😭 he may be demisexual or aspec but there's no way hes not gay for his best friend aksjshdj

i like that Matteo and Alessandrio are a gay vampire x human couple, but idk is it just me or does the way Matteo is talking to Sabine lowkey feel a little bit like mansplaining her about how to be a vampire 😭 (but I get that he's trying to show her a different perspective)

I will never not be a sucker for a codependent homoerotic toxic best friendship 😌

i love that she met a gay guy human x vampire couple
I still enjoy this book more than A Dowry Of Blood, this is better written 😣

this bisexual vampire polyamorous threesome.... 🔥 I'm finally getting converted into seeing the appeal of this book🔥 also, the descriptions of Magdalena, honestly I too would fall in love with her at first sight 😩👌

hell yeah Sabine and Renata, finally 🔥 now we just need hector to go away. I wasn't expecting vampire polyamory but I'm here for it! I also like Sabine getting to reclaim sexual agency for herself after her trauma at the hands of Andrés.
