Blood Countess

The first half was really boring and the second half really thrilling. I didn't love the ending though, it was weirdly abrupt.

2.5
Well written (especially for YA) but very anticlimactic towards the end.

I enjoyed the story and the writing style, even if 1st person narrators aren't my favourite. Loved the blinks of queer love but some parts of the book left me confused.

Two intelligent women that continously plan and manipulate, only for them to make two big mistakes to drive the story forward. It seemed less believable to me this way.I didn't really vibe with the end of the story either, the main character letting her sister marry into *the blood* of her former murderous lady.The twisted love the two of them shared left me wanting more, to be frank. And I didn't dig either that her male best friend had to come to her rescue in the end either. Just doesn't sit well with me knowing this story's queer love was basically the basis. Hm.
