Who wouldn’t love a modern retelling of Carmilla?! Sapphic romance and dark academia really do go hand in hand. This book holds the stage with vampire society, mystery, gore-ish murder, and the sweet gothic troubles one would face in a secluded boarding school. Laura enters as this cutesy girl from a little life that encounters the obscurities this place holds. Carmilla is quite the opposite with her divinely troubled ways. Rivals to lovers continues to hold absolute sway over me time and time again. READ IT!!!

I saw someone say this was Lana Del Rey coded and I COULDN’T AGREE MORE.

Thank you to the publisher for my advance reader copy!
