Good book to read during October! The writing was super vivid and at one point I felt like *I* had a cockroach in my ear.

Got super annoyed with all of the men in this book, though. Gaslighting galore. Quick read nonetheless!

I don’t think horror genre is for me. I tried.

This was a romp and got me out of a reading slump. However, I am knocking off a star because there is sexual violence about 80% in that is unnecessary for plot or character development and not trigger-warned. The SA could just as easier have been the vampire feeding on the character instead and accomplished the same thing. Hate that!
