Immortal Dark by Tigest GirmaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Tigest Girma debuts with the first book of a new trilogy that straddles the line between YA and adult with a unique new adult dark academia style. With its specifically Ethiopian vampire mythos, university setting existing at one right angled remove from the modern world, the mystery of a missing sister, and a spicy but not explicit romance, it's the kind of book that you'll never find anywhere else. While I do wish there had been more done with the mystery aspect, the book does do a pretty good job of making what could have been a trite and trendy enemies-to-lovers routine something more fresh and memorable and palpable. And hopefully, Girma sticks with her trilogy plan on this one, to go against the grain of so many series these days being stuffed into two books instead.
