So Thirsty

"The book was well written however, I felt that the book relational dynamics were extremely unhealthy. The main character needed some major personal psychological growth work. I felt that the main character’s relationship with the best friend, one of the central relationship arches in the book, was dysfunctional AF, toxic, and simultaneously pathologically romanticized. "

"I have read R.H before and I know she writes chick-lit with horror elements- but this book gave me genre switching whiplash. Nothing felt cohesive. Which is sad because the first half was 10/10. "

"I loved this book, but I admit I likely overlooked any faults because it gave me so much nostalgia to be reading a vampire novel again. I was completely obsessed with vampire novels as a teen and this just brought me right back and reminded me of how much I loved series like Twilight or Marked. "

"I'm actually annoyed by the amount of good reviews this has because this a fraud of a feminist vampire story. Boring as all get out and the most annoying characters known to man. The best thing about it was that it was short and I didn't have to continue my suffering across several more hours."

"This book felt like one of those great 80’s movies even though it’s not a movie, nor is it set in the 80’s. It manages to capture the friendship, horror and humor of the 80’s scary movie in a way that makes you fall absolutely in love, even if the main character grates on your nerves. Sloane’s birthday is approaching, and her husband has surprised her with a weekend trip to a luxury spa. Only, he isn’t planning on going, her wild child long time best friend Naomi is. Naomi and Sloane have been there for each other, but in the last year Naomi has been away travelling Europe with her boyfriend’s band and their relationship has become more superficial. Sloane hopes this will be the chance for the two of them to hang out, sip wine and reconnect without having to get too personal. Naomi hopes this will be a chance for her to wake up her friend into really living her life and not just drifting along. When Naomi’s plan for a wild night out takes a turn for the worse Sloane is forced to make the toughest decision she has ever had to make, and one with dire consequences. This is a great story about the complexities of female friendship. How having the best intentions for someone can go wrong, and how sometimes it’s hard to let go of hidden resentments and past trauma to fully live your life. It was a violent and bloody journey to fall in love with each of the characters and the hidden dark world that Harrison created. I was captivated by the story being told, but I absolutely loved the ending. If you are looking for a dark book that still manages to warm your heart, then definitely pick up a copy of this book.<br/><br/>Thanks to Shelf Awareness for picking me as the winner of the horror book ARC giveaway."
