gahhhhh i love vampires so much!!! as a vampires connoisseur this book fed my fangirl vampy heart, and it was such a great campy paranormal romance and i'm just so giddy about it

i was blown away by the author's world building and her own take on vampire lore, which i always find so fun to read an author's iteration of the myth. i was captivated by the plot, the romances (there are TWO hehe) and the fun multi-media sprinkled in! this book truly captured the heart of fandom culture and it was just such a great experience! it can't get any better than hot vampires!!!  

please check CW before reading as it does cover SA and being an SA survivor. the author handled these topics with such care and it was so moving to see our fmc tess reclaim her future and it got me emotional at times! i loved the conversations surrounding consent and bodily autonomy and how it's conveyed in both the mortal and paranormal world. ugh i just love tess and her courage and her will to survive so much, she was the perfect fangirl fmc for this fangirl to read about.

thank you so much Dial Press for this eARC, it's available everywhere now!
