Quite the eccentric read about a teenager who is turned into a vampire. I'm not sure how I feel about this book. It started out compelling and very Twilight-like. I thought the focus would continue to be on the troubled protagonist and her home life. However, it turned into not the most well-executed story about consent, addiction and recovery. I would have loved to read more about Shelby's inner healing, including her relationships with others e.g. Aunt Clara.

Overall, I enjoyed this imaginative novella-in-verse with some unfulfilled promise.
