TW & cons: Sex shaming, Religious trauma, Brief ED mention
Pros: Cherokee cultural & spiritual representation, pagan rituals i feel as one is accurate
"A lot of sex shaming. Looking online its pretty popular especially with indigenous cosplayers. Zoey Redbird. I am liking these vampire versions so far. I wouldnt mind being one." I am hoping (depending if I enjoy boy two as much as I have book 1) there is less sex shaming because zoeybird is definetly horny for Mr.Night. Heath is just a good refrigerator lol. I am hoping she does not end up with Heath in the end of these 13 books. Based on spoilers I know I am suppose to be suspicious of Nefret but she is so Iconic. I love ALL of zoey's friends. I hope they all make it through the change. I know the hag is suppose to be redeemable eventually just not sure when. I have never thought about vampire lore in this way. I have always wanted tattoos but only in connection to my indigenous culture. These markings on their face & body is so beautiful. I am grateful to my friend Scar for exposing me to this "vampire trash" that I love. So far not so trashy just a little cringey. Unfortnately there will not be a series since the deadline has passed now but maybe one day or even a movie franchise. Found a beautiful playlist for the first book: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3EuZvxmCDeUi3OuO9k6Bff?si=83d1100397074768
If I could be any character human I would be Grandma Redbird, Vampyre* Zoey, Fledgling Shaunee
(Did not like how to spelled vamipre at first*) I am curious as to why the authors chose indigenous culture but I am grateful I have NEVER read a book that does. Blessed Be till the next sabbath of Mabon.
