I loved The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, by V.E. Schwab, so was excited to read this and I enjoyed it almost (but not quite) as much.
It is a vampire book, following various characters from different points in history where/when they lived prior to being turned and as they continued to live as others aged and died around them.
It is an interesting and thought provoking look at the complex emotions involved in becoming and living as ‘a monster’ – having to kill to survive, having to cope with surviving for so long, figuring out the feelings towards the one who turned them – love? gratitude? anger? Hate?
I have read a few books with similar themes and this is one of the best.
