I mean, her mouth what? If that's not a good enough reason to DNF idk what is lol. I was really hoping that this was going to give me *that feeling* where I would giggle, and swoon, and kick my feet but instead I encountered several eye roll moments and literally clenched my fist in annoyance at the amount of times these two bicker - it wasn't fun.
The two main characters are in their 30's but act so immature- if the author wanted to have two characters go back and forth with 'you did this' 'no you did that' and 'make me' non-stop, just write a young adult novel.
And while the author is at it - a cats ass is not remotely attractive. Why would you describe a love interest's mouth in this way ? ...more

I hope you looked west while I was looking east, and that for a moment you met my eyes without knowing it. I know you never look away, even when your eyes are closed, but I’m never certain you can see what’s really there.' ♡

I'll be honest, I was a little bored through some of this story. I connected and was interested in the hidden/forbidden romance between Susannah and Lucy but I felt at times it dragged a little.
Towards the end though I really wanted to sob. For Susannah, for Lucy, for Martin.
As a whole, it's pretty emotional and heartbreaking.

I'll just keep this really brief-
Full disclosure- I listened to the audiobook. I wasn't impressed with the narrators at all, and I feel like I would have felt the same way if I read the kindle or physical book. But the advantage with the kindle as I would have known each chapter as it alternated between Carmilla and Laura.
Still, I don't think it was the best decision to include both POV's. With just Laura's it would have been more mysterious and given an obscure and haunting vibe. With both, it was just muddled.
In the audio, I honestly don't recall ever hearing the switch and I had to use more brain power than I wanted to in order to decipher who the hell was talking. Their voices sounded exactly the same. Maybe there's some greater meaning to that but I honestly don't care. It didn't work for me.
The pacing was incredibly slow and while this novel has all of the makings of what should have made for a great read... I just couldn't stay engaged.
On the plus side, I do intend to read A Dowry in Blood and not give up on the author.

That someday, someway, I'd be able to move on from this horror- shed my old skin and be reborn something stronger. Something powerful and terrifying.'
"Most people are terrified of snakes." "Most people are afraid of you." "But not you." "Not me." "You make me feel a lot of thing I've never felt before, but not fear."
