This story is insanely fast-paced, much to its disadvantage. It hits every plot point it wants to but takes all of the substance out of the story. I find myself not caring about anything that's going on or any of the characters because you never get a second to breathe and learn about the characters or events. I did find the five rules of staying hidden as a vampire in the mortal realm to be interesting, in a cute way. Weirdly though, it reminded me a lot of Chibi Vampire. I'm not really sure why, the premise isn't the same aside from "vampire teenage girl tries to live in the human world and falls in love with a human boy". The art was technically good, but also somehow had no flavor. This just did nothing for me. It's not technically bad per say, it's just bland.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review!
