A Flame in the Night by Morgan Dante
4.0
*Thank you to the author for sending me an ARC in exchange for an honest review*
Usually with Vampires you get the “wayward single maiden attracts fanged trouble” cliché. However with A Flame In The Night, you get the delightful and spicy spin of “happily married man meets handsome vampire, introduces his wife so they can all make out and kill her abusers,” and I think that’s beautiful. I’m an absolute sucker for bi MCs and loving polyamorous groupings. And I love how Leon and Claire support each other through everything.
Not enough books are about men being unabashed French hoes in the Roaring 20s that put their wives first, and even less of them feature vampires, so Morgan Dante is doing something right.
There are still a fair amount of punctuation errors and I think a title is mislabeled as Leon’s perspective when it’s still from Claire’s.
I hope there’s a sequel!
Spice: 5/5
CW: sex work, drug use, war gore mention, PTSD, past sexual abuse mention
