I loved this! It’s gross, emotional, and creepy. 
It wasn’t as scary as I would hoping (or told) it would be but it still creepy enough. I really loved the new take on vampires in this as well! I’ve also never teared up at an afterword before so thanks for that Nat Cassidy. 

I didn’t personally like the mentions of covid and the pandemic, just because I read books to escape reality, but I understand why Cassidy included it.

I also loved how it doesn’t really have a happy ending, I feel like that’s very rare in horror books lately (or maybe just the ones I’ve picked up). The ending made me tear up, and so did the Afterword

I will definitely be picking up more Cassidy books in the future.
