The YA novel by Catherine Jinks is billed as a murder-mystery comedy of errors that’s the perfect anecdote to slick vampire novels, but does it live up to the hype??
This YouTuber says: Stories have always had a strong impact on me, they affected the way I look at the world, they helped make me a better person, and I wanted to better understand this relation; I wanted to articulate all those intangible feelings that stories invoked in me, how they moved me, and how they made feel more connected to myself and to the world and the people around me.
