I know it was a ghost story, but I kind of expected more of a ghost story?? It was good and I enjoyed it, but I felt like something was missing.

Do you know how badly I want to scream about this book? How badly I want to force everyone to read it? I could go on and on about this book, but I fear it would go into spoiler territory.
I feel like Caitlin Starling sticks her magical fingers inside my head, digs around a little before plucking out my deepest fantasies. She knows exactly what I want to read and the type of stories I crave. Milkteeth is NO different.
Intertwining motherhood with vampirism? Vampires AND some slight cannibalism? Best believe this was going to be a five star read for me.
A slow burn modern gothic story that's filled with blood AND love that's completely captivating. While it does follow the same lore for the most part in regards to vampirism, Caitlin Starling has done something unique and different with Milkteeth that it slightly reinvents and feels fresh. I enjoyed how there still was some tenderness with it's discussions on motherhood rather than just focusing on the ugly of it all. Starling's writing is beyond gorgeous. Each word and sentence took my breath away.
Each character and their relationships with each other are so compelling. You might not always like Beatrice, personally I loved her so it might just be a skill issue if you don't, but you can't say she isn't fully fleshed out.
Thank you netgalley and St. Martin's for the arc.
