the plot line has SOOOO much potential, but the writing does not flow & i couldn't force it. the overuse of aave was a bit too much for me. describing a vampire as "with the shits" pls? smsjdjdkk. describing a characters lips as "d!ck suckers" just might be TOO "black" for me, idk. the storyline feels everywhere... idk... but the concept of Kildare Bondeaux & his abilities as a vampire had a lot of potential. i would definitely reread this if it was rewritten as a full length novel & maybe a different, more mature/developed writing style?
