this is based on my impeccable memory which is never incorrect however if Iâm misremembering pls let me know đ€
Happens in my fave Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist đ©ž
ooh thanks, i'll add it. i ending up not finishing that one so missed out
Definitely not just you!! I deeply love blood tears đ©žđ©ž
Hell yeah, itâs so horrific, really adds to the drama
Absolutely! Also makes total sense if all they are consuming is blood. In the Vampire Chronicles she talks about how they sweat blood too. So gross so good
oh yes, i want to say it's the same in the buffalo hunter hunter, but i might be misremembering (even though i have previously stated impeccable memory, ofc)! it's such a cool detail
I gotta read that one so soon!!
ermmmmm yummy iâm saving this for later thank you my vampire queen
youâre welcome miss gracie đ
I have never ever read about someone crying blood but now I am deeply intrigued đââïž
Very cool and sad and scary and funđââïž
I read four books and this is a small detail I never noticed. I feel so embarred for not noticing. Thank you for making the list!
So often itâs mentioned very quickly and not delved into. The buffalo hunter hunter talks about it in more detail which was gorey and delicious
omw to put it on my interested shelf
I ran here to recommend Discovery of Witches. So glad itâs here already 𫥠I loooove a blood tear!
omg yes, do you know i was on the look out while i was reading that book and in the first one it's only referenced in passing one singular time đ i was like.. write that down!! that counts!!
It counts! Later in the series a character does actually shed a blood tear, but I canât remember which book
May I suggest A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole? đ«¶ pretty sure all the vampires in her books cry pink bloody tears đđ©ž
i was just looking into this! i saw mention the FMC has pinky tears, though she is a half-vampire. is it confirmed full vampires have the blood tears?
Hmm.. actually, I don't remember! I'll have to do some research đ«Ąđ©ž it's been a while since I read them!
no worries, let me know what you find out!
Is there one of these you would recommend over all others to try??
this is asking me to pick a favourite child đđ I gave Coffin Moon and The Buffalo Hunter Hunter an easy 5 stars. Havenât reviewed Milkteeth yet but Iâm thinking 4.5! I had a few more suggestions I need to double check, because Iâve forgotten despite my impeccable memory, but I loveddd Empire of the Vampire too
Iâve been toying with reading Empire of the Vampire!! I just have been hesitant on if it would be a good fit for me. I might ask some book friends who know my reading well to see what they think. I know this is very highly rated!
Itâs very gritty grimdark fantasy but with a comic edge I really enjoyed âșïž
Itâs the grim part that makes me hesitate đ đ
You could read a sample to see if it fits your vibe - itâs grim immediately đ
Ohhh thatâs good to know! Yes I think Iâll sample it from my library!
The Vampire cries blood in Gogol's Viy!
ooh cool, haven't heard of this one but had a look through today
Empire of the vampire by jay kristoff
ahhh yes of course, how could i forget with my impeccable memory! đ
Bury our Bones in the Midnight Soil has this!!! I loved it, sooo dramatic đ©žđ§ââïž
ahh of course how could i ever forget đ
