I really wanted to enjoy this more, but it fell a bit flat for me. I loved the concept, the creepiness factor, and the tasteful gore. I read a *lot* of vampire fiction when I was a tween/teen and I liked how Thirst didn’t abide by all of the traditional rules of vampire lore. It felt like a fresh take on a classic in many respects.

I found the first person POV a bit limiting and it’s generally not my speed, but I completely understand why the author chose it. It keeps the story extremely intimate and it gets the reader into the characters’ heads. 

The first chunk of the book felt a lot slower than the second and it took me a while to be completely invested in the story. The final third was the best part, especially when everything finally came together. (No spoilers here, but it was really good!!)
