Publisher's Summary
A Best Book of the Year in HARPER'S BAZAAR, BBC, THE NEW YORKER, GLAMOUR, GAL-DEM and HUFFPOST
Lydia is hungry. She's always wanted to try sashimi and ramen, onigiri and udon - the food her Japanese father liked to eat - but the only thing she can digest is blood. Yet Lydia can't bring herself to prey on humans, and sourcing fresh pigs' blood in London - where she is living away from her Malaysian-British mother for the first time and trying to build a career as an artist - is much more difficult than she'd anticipated.
If Lydia is to find a way to exist in the world, she must reconcile the conflicts within her - between her demon and human sides, her mixed ethnic heritage and her relationship with food, and, in turn, humans. Before any of this, however, she must eat.
Critic Reviews
"Absolutely brilliant - tragic, funny, eccentric.... Claire Kohda takes the vampire trope and makes it her own." (Ruth Ozeki)
"Witty and thought-provoking." (Stylist)
"A modern day vampire thriller." (BBC)

Has promise.
The story is a really interesting premise. The narrator is great. Solid 3/5 and worth a listen.

not like any vampire book I've ever read
Darkly beautiful and awkward, a vampire learns to live on her own for the first time, discovering who she is in regards to family, race, culture, food, art, and nature.
