Unable to to leave and intimidated by the characters, all she can do is let herself get pushed around and abused by the predatory men.


I love vampires and a good romance is never bad to have, but this was shit.

The main character was an absolute wet blanket, she never fought back in any meaningful way whenever one of those losers insulted or approached her. These debatably "attractive" men were unnecessarily rude and wouldn't stop jumping her neck. How much blood does this woman have in her that she can shrug off multiple daily attacks?

The blood sucking scenes were annoying to sit through and the repetitiveness of it all made it equally boring. Why does she keep approaching these vicious perverts with renewed tolerance? They keep calling her conceited as well, which is rich coming from these assholes.

Those who find vampires biting people sexy are a very particular group of fetishists, but for the rest of us, it makes for an unbearable watch. I'm sad there wasn't a single genuine guy in this; they all just preyed on her blood, while the background music tries to convince you it's an alluring moment every time.

Because none of the characters are likeable, it's hard to care for their past and their plight at the end. Why did they even bother trying to save the girl's life? They could've just ripped her head off and that way prevented their "evil" mother from possessing her, but there they are, surrounding her as she wakes up, as if they were her friends all this time. What the actual Hell.

The general plot isn't even that bad. This could've worked out if they either didn't take the "sadistic harem"-route and just made these boys the undeniable villains, or actually made them show off normal affection towards this girl. Not this constant biting and weird talk about how inflicting pain and committing murder are acts of love.

This harem sucked, literally.
