  I really enjoyed reading this book. Another book with toxic lesbian vampires? I’m immediately sold. I need 500 more. Why are lesbians just better when they are vampires 😂 they truly go together so well. I really enjoyed both fmcs in this book and they did a really good and beloved job of rivals to lovers/ enemies to lovers. They dynamic between the two characters was great and I loved the domination aspect that Laura had. It added something a little extra to the story. Minus one star because there was a couple of things I wish would have gone a little differently. Mainly I didn’t feel connected to the Isis storyline because we really had no background information on her and Evelyn so I wasn’t able to connect or really care about that part of the story. I didn’t however hate Evelyn with a passion. Overall I really enjoyed this and the audio was very well done, the accents truly made the characters come to life for me. This was my first book by this author and I will definitely be checking their other stuff out. 🌶️ 2.5/5 The slight Dom and voyouristic elements in this really added something and made the scenes even better.

  *“She kissed me with a martyr’s agonized desperation, like I was the only sword she ever wanted to fall on. I kissed her right back like the cutting edge of a blade, trying to inflict as much damage as possible.”* What I loved: ✿ dark academia/gothic atmosphere ✿ sadistic, sexy lesbians ✿ beautifully written ✿ happily ever vampire Oooh this was such a quick, fun read even though I would have loved.. a bit more. I wanted more backstory or maybe even a bit more present day moments with the characters. The ending made sense for the story and I loved that it was a cozy, happily ever vampire or at least that's how the author leaves you feeling. If you're looking for more 'toxic lesbian vampires' after Bury Our Bones, this is the perfect read.

  I found this book interesting, it’s a bit different from what I normally read. But who doesn’t love a good Toxic lesbian vampire book. The enemies/rivals to lovers was predictable but just as fun and interesting. Laura and Camilla are both complex and well rounded characters. I do wish we got more of them together/other school stuff. But I do feel like this book could’ve gone more in depth on certain aspects, like Iris and Evelyn. I didn’t overly find their relationship interesting, and it was sort of predictable. De Lafontaine was very controlling (and I didn’t like her) But I think her leaving in the end was the best situation, for herself and Camilla/Laura. They will have a better education without being in the complicated situation they were in. I did like the ending, I am happy they end up in a good spot and happy together. Overall I think I just want more, more details and more about the world they are in overall.

  I wasn’t a huge fan of A Dowry of Blood, but An Education in Malice completely won me over! The dark academia atmosphere was perfection, and after this and Bury Our Bones (VE Schwab) I’ve officially found a new favorite trope: toxic lesbian vampires... I need more books like this in my life. 🌶️ 3 The intimate scenes were both fun and captivating, loved the power dynamics and a touch of kink kept things interesting. 📚 Reading Between the Vines: 📚 Click Here to Join a Fun Discord Book Club
