hello, citizen! are you BUMMED about how much YA fiction these days is about white girls with no agency or opinions falling in love with abusive & dominating white boys (who are also vampires)? you should read slice of cherry by dia reeves! here is what it is about:
teenage sisters who go on a killing spree in their magical Texan town
here are a few dilemmas facing the protagonist, fancy:
1. everyone in town hates my family because my dad was the infamous bonesaw killer
2. my sister & i have inherited his bloodlust, no big deal, but we have no way to get rid of the bodies and jail would suck
3. my sister seems to be alarmingly emotionally attached to our current victim, a college-aged boy we named franken and keep in our cellar
4. our mom doesn’t know we like to kill people and also is making us take summer art & music classes
5. ugh this random boy keeps trying to talk to me, doesn’t he know i don’t talk to anybody but my family
6. i kind of want to bite him
7. but mostly i want to stab him in the face
8. MORAL DILEMMA
9. haha jk there are no moral dilemmas in this book
10. only dilemmas about loving people and being vulnerable/responsible and having to grow up
YES, this is a PSYCHOPATHIC COMING OF AGE NOVEL
all about two southern black sisters who love each other even more than they love evisceration
it is creative and hilarious and sexy and tender and bizarre
it is like nothing else i have ever read ever ever ever
and you should read it also
trigger warnings: lots of gore, one incident of childhood sexual abuse (of a male character)
I JUST DOWNLOADED THIS! I love it when my tumblr and I are psychically linked.
