The Deathless Girls by Kiran Millwood Hargrave
3.0
it was a good read. debut ya novel which wasn't my favorite, but not one to dnf either, i guess. going into it, i feel like i expected something else. it is a Dracula retelling, dark and mysterious, but not in a way that would make me remember this book.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
however, it is a book that has beautiful descriptions about nature and animals, but i found myself bored to DEATH while reading it. the end of the book quite saved the whole story tbh. this is a book that i'll forget really quick lmao
it does include grief, torture, love, magic & all that type of stuff but only the ending of it is worth reading tbh. it's this book that has a sad ending, not a happy one, so that's a change.

i liked Kizzy as a character tbh, she was ferocious and stubborn & yk characters like that are my weakness ;) we stan a bad bitch in books!! i also loved the relationship between Lil and Mira, but other than these characters - meh. also, gotta mention that the relationship between the twins and their mom was so fucking heart warming!! made me miss my mum since she's back in Lithuania ugh :/
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
i do recommend reading this book, but i think people who like poetry, nature & just stories that go with the flow (and a bit of darkness) would like this better. i, on the other hand, am a sucker for action & drama, so it ended being a quite a boring book 😂 xx
