teen murder by parents
As with the previous book in the series, Blood of Kings, this book focuses around gay vampires. It is extremely historical, showcasing many gay and bisexual men of the past who have changed society, though modern society has often hidden their orientation from the public.
This book focuses more on the fundamental differences between gays who seek to hide who they are, and those who embrace it, concluding that those that choose to hide their orientation can be the most homophobic and dangerous.
In addition to the wide cast of gay male characters, it also includes a lesbian psychic.
The book is enjoyable, though it does show quite a bit of anger towards homophobic society, and is good at showing many parts of queer history that are often conveniently swept under the rug by historians.
