Okay wtf LESBIAN LOVE FROM HELL. And I thought I had a toxic ex

Well consider me triggered af by this manipulative turn of things

I do enjoy that we get both present day and then medieval through the 1800s vampire lore

Ope now how did I not see that coming

I love this “everyone is connected” style of plot

My girl Maria can’t catch a break

I simply could not be a hole for my husband like these 1800’s bitches, I am grateful to be alive now even if it is its own hellscape

Also god Schwab’s metaphors/similes are incredible

“Waits like a canvas”
“The night is a hand on the back of her neck—heavy, unwelcome”
“Her world is unmoored — like stepping off of a moving sidewalk”

You know what? Hell yeah. Drunken girl makeouts definitely beat surveillance government prison vibes
