Oh how I love a retelling in gothic horror! This book was definitely a slow one but the language had me hooked. I loved the feeling of hunger invoked throughout and how much blood/ death is a part of Lenore’s life. It feels like the life she had before meeting Carmilla was about forgetting the past and not making any mistakes even if it means having no wants for herself. Loved watching her progress throughout and change her ways of thinking.

All the strange incidents with the people Carmilla affected were unsettling and intriguing and made you want to know more. Also love a MC who gets what she wants in the end. Henry got what was coming and what a fun way to go! Lenore is truly a mastermind and I loved the part where she eats the sweet Henry gave her and blows the sugar in his face.

This was really such a fun read, with so many lines that were beautifully and horrifically written.
