This is what would have happened if Neil Josten (from The Foxhole Court / AFTG) had been bitten by a vampire and thrust into their problems.
Thank you to the author for sending me a copy of the audiobook.
On that note, it took me a while to get into the audiobook as the narrator sounded a little robotic at first... But I got used to it and ended up enjoying it.
Cutting Your Teeth was a really solid read. Characters you root for, a story that holds itself together very well, a sweet romance, and a found family aspect that makes your heart melt.
The vampirism aspect isn't particularly heavy which was okay to me but I wouldn't have minded a little more gritty or fantastical elements.
I always find it a little odd that creatures like vampires, who have lived for decades or even centuries, kind of act like normal people. To me they would be different in some sense, otherworldly almost. I didn't really get that in this story but once again, that's very much a personal preference.
