I don’t know dude. It was so difficult to read. The way the aliens were presented was very original, but the storytelling kind of put me down. All the characters seemed flat, the environment was hard to conceptualize, a lot of made up words. And what was this thing with vampires? Who needs vampires in a sf book?

They're SF vampires -- efficient, neurodiverse predators -- not undead/magic vampires.

They were reborn from traces in human DNAs and tamed with a drug they need to survive in our environment. They are very fast and very smart, that's why they are kept around.

I thought it was was an interesting take on making vampires work as having existed in the past. Especially clever why they don't like crosses.
