A compilation of steamy short stories featuring a vampire and werewolf sapphic couple.
I loved the concept of seeing glimpses into important milestones of a supernatural couple. While all the milestones were similar to what a human couple may experience, there was the added worldbuilding that added a whimsical flavour. Sure I could tell what the main theme of a short story was going to be right away but meet the parents, vampire and werewolf edition, was just that little more interesting for me.
The only issue was that I read the compilation all in one go, thinking it would just feel like a book with chapters that time jump. It did not quite work as a book for me. The stories had a bit of a formula to ensure that the problem could be solved and the reader could get a generous sexy scene. Ten chapters with sex scenes is certainly a record for me and maybe too much? They were all well done but, by the end, I did find myself missing the romantic buildup that makes the sex scenes memorable.
Certainly worth the read, however, I recommend taking your time and spacing out each of the stories to get the best experience.
