Hi friends!! I've been loving this quest recently and I'm one away from the champion badge (which would be my first side quest badge!!) and I'd love to pick a good one! I don't have any still on my tbr so I'm a total blank slate here, though I do recognize some. Generally I think I really like complex characters and messy relationships and I want the vampire aspect to be a major element! I'll also list the 4 I read below and some stuff I did and didn't like in case that can help y'all steer me in the right direction :) Appreciate your help sapphic vamp hotties!

⚠️ Since I'm mentioning some details from the books I read please beware spoilers in case you're sensitive towards those! Not gonna mention anything huge plotwise but yaknow, character details, vibes, concept, etc

• Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil: this one is fully on My Taste now. I loved it!!!! Really really into the moral greyness here and would gladly pick up another with a character like Sabine. Also love the way it was very mentally involved to figure out what was going on
• A Dowry of Blood: loved the gorgeous writing in this and how atmospheric it was! Would appreciate a heads up if any recs have a similar or even larger amount of abuse than this.
• An Education in Malice: loved the toxic obsessive wlw behavior, into the spice, totally down for more of that. The concept of this was really good but I kinda just wanted it to dig in more somehow, like the plot felt like it was taking away from the good stuff
• My Darling Dreadful Thing: I'm still a lil scaredy cat when it comes to horror but this was definitely a tolerable amount of spook for me! I liked that I didn't know what was real. Would love a more pronounced vampire element though!
