For Readers Interested In: 2sLGBTQ+, Adult, Audio, Paranormal, VampiresA high-heat, low-drama vampire romance where the only stakes are true love.
A revenge plot sets sparks flying in this screwball paranormal romantic comedy of enemies-to-lovers, chaotic supernatural friend groups, and scorching chemistry from debut author Lucy Lehane.
Charlie needs to revamp his career. Writing advice columns was hard enough before the whole internet was dying to know how to date the undead – but Charlie’s as human as they come. And he has no idea how to answer the messages flooding his inbox, like My Workplace Slack Is Haunted; Should I Cross Dimensions For a Fling? and How Exactly Do You Smash A…
When a chance nocturnal meeting at a local coffee shop sees him reuniting with Lorenzo – a vampire with an axe to grind – Charlie thinks he’s found his ticket to immortal career success. But Lorenzo has plans of his to get revenge on Charlie for separating Lorenzo from the love of his life years ago. When Lorenzo draws Charlie into his world of monsters and mayhem, he finds new friends and old souls that span centuries of existence, yet are somehow just as lost as the two of them. But as Charlie and Lorenzo grow unexpectedly closer, the secrets they dwell under might just crush them.
Can their love survive demons and drama? And which will prove deadlier… bloodlust or betrayal?
*MY THOUGHTS*
This was cute! I really had a lot of fun reading this. It’s been a minute since I’ve read a vampire adult book, so I was shocked at how much I enjoyed this. There were a few things I wish we had more of, but at the same time, it was still good. I don’t think I would have changed much of anything if at all.
OK so the main thing about this was the paranormal creatures. I enjoyed reading about those so much. Like I said its been a minute since I read a paranormal book, so I got sucked into this one. It felt unique and fun! I mean have YOU ever read a story where one human is giving advice to paranormal creatures? I also loved that it wasn’t your typical vampires only. There’s others that I won’t name because of spoilers, but it was fun. But this was also the only thing that bothered me. If you’re going to have all these different characters, you need to give them some background or an explanation. We only get that from one of them and it was cool and all, but she was also sad. I feel like there was so much more she could have explored. Maybe there will be another book in the series?
The romance was cute, but that’s all I really felt. I saw them falling for each other, but I didn’t feel it if that makes sense. But I’m not sure if it’s because I’m me and y’all know I don’t like the whole enemies to lovers thing lol But the whole way they met, and then the way they got together, and all that…. Yeah I would have still been mad. And because of that, I just didn’t feel the real in their romance. But I know that’s just me. After they got together tho it was cute enough. I didn’t have any complaints besides they should have been together longer than the epilogue. All that reading for no reward lol
This was a cute book and I was glad to have gotten a copy of it. I still need to try that coffee that came with it tho lol I hope y’all pick this book up even though Halloween is over. This is a good read for anytime of the year!
Overall, I give this
