For slithering everywhere

The dedication immediately let me know this book was for me, a Harry Potter reference (to a slytherin no less!) AND to Damon Salvatore ? Couldn’t be more perfect! The story didn’t disappoint.

Alternate perspective of masculinity

I’m so glad that this story centered around a male with an anxiety disorder. Seeing how the character overcame the barriers to a normal social life caused by panicked attacks, how he struggled with what was expected of him, and how he didn’t fit the “male hero masculinity” trope was a pleasure to read.
