Quote I liked:
"There’s a certain sort of cold distance one develops towards other people when you’re born human, and then become a beast; when the life you know and the people inside of it slowly grow old and die, and you stay in place. It’s like becoming an inanimate object, in a way. A rock, a stone. Life does not happen to you, but around you."

The vampire rules in this are a little odd. You can be born a vampire or turned into one by being bitten & in rare cases, from being enthralled by a vampire. They can have kids with humans, who will be born as either a human or a vampire. Weirdly, shapeshifting is a possible vampiric power, (who, according to Sylvia, the actress who played Lorelai on Gilmore Girls has!)

I hate that Sylvia's pushing her away. She changed their dynamic, knowing the risk, yet she acts unfazed & let's Aster believe she's the only one struggling w/how she feels!
"Sylvia could reject her in every way—she could drain all the blood from Aster’s body in one long drink—and Aster would forgive her. Aster could die and she’d haunt Sylvia as a ghost, holding her hand wherever she went without her even knowing."

Another Quote:
"Vampires, with their perpetually renewed lease on mortality, can afford to never consider the big questions at all. That was the great irony of it. The more life you’re given, the less motivated you are to live it."

Still not quite sure how I feel about this book yet...I think I like it....
“You mean this wasn’t as weird as that time you had to sow my arm back onto my body?” “Please. That was nothing. Remember when we killed those two stockbrokers and then dressed them in tutus for the police to find?”
