A Guide Thicker Than Blood
the ending was SO LACKLUSTER! they did so much info dumping the first few chapters but it went nowhere! who was the red hair "antagonist" (bc really was he even really one) collecting blood for and what was he gonna do with it? how often do no good-doers wreck havoc on the cities and what other precaution could the government take to prevent that from happening? how is fabian randomly ok with physical touch after bring repulsed the first few times? k's backstory had so much potential but they glazed over it so quickly and i still don't understand him and his motives, much less fabian even tho we're getting things from his pov! k and fabian's relationship feels so awkward and forced! why spend so much time trying to introduce so many concepts just to have it thrown out for the bangs?? fabian seems to have such an awesome ability, but he never gets to use it! there's some series that get drawn out to be 100+ chapters for no reason, then we have this on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.... k carried that extra star in this rating for his extreme hotness alone
