I was nervous going into this because vampire romance books have been letting me down lately. FORTUNATELY this was actually really enjoyable.

While the characters were extremely stupid at times and really tried my patience, I felt like it was made up for in how funny I found the book. A lot of the trying to patience was from a joke going on too long, but it didn’t ruin my enjoyment of the earlier parts of the joke.

Also the romance was really cute! It was nice watching these two fall for each other and their dedication to each other. I also liked that when they were thirsting after each other it didn’t feel out of place or like it was happening at weird times. And honestly the spice was actually alright, I’ve listened to so much bad spice this was a nice little treat.

Overall, it was a cute, simple read! I’m looking forward to the sequel!

“Do not think for one moment that you are replaceable, Cassie Greenberg. For you are anything but.”

I didn't have that high expectation of this book so when I actually did start reading it, it amazed me how much it made me smile and laugh even in public. It's a really silly rom-com between a vampire and a human and I think that the author really did have a blast writing this. What really made me drop the rating is the last quarter of the book where it really just felt silly and ironically, something that would never happen. So yeah, even if I did enjoy more than half of the book, it really was down to how it ended. The third act conflict really was just a disappointment and I wished that the author has made it more serious compared to how it was written.

However, I would love a Frederick as a roommate. The dialogues was amazingly witty. Plus points for the little sneak peek of Frederick's POV at every start of the chapter.

I sadly had to DNF this book involuntarily. The source I was using to read it online stopped working, so I can't finish it since I've been unable to find this book anywhere without buying it. But since I was about 80% through, I can give a review for most of the book.

I enjoyed the way the chapters were structured. Having a note or news article that set the scene was fun to read. I thought the vampire man was a very funny character, and I thought the reason for having him seem so old-fashioned was quite unique and clever.

Overall it was nice, though I stopped right when it was getting juicy in the drama department, shame.

I can’t say that I enjoyed this book but at the same time, I can’t say that I hated it.
It took me a lot longer to finish than I had thought, but that’s mainly because I found it hard to get into.

I enjoyed the concept of the book. However, I felt that it fell short in its execution.

I could partially relate to the FMC but not enough that I felt invested in knowing more about her or her hobbies ETC. She had a bad habit of repeating herself or actions. “He’s so cold to the touch,” “he’s so attractive,” “placed my hand where his heartbeat would’ve been.” Yes, we get it…
The MMC was more tolerable, but I feel that is basically because the book is written completely in our FMC’s POV.

I did not enjoy the ending, or the last few pages leading up to it.
I feel the author wrote herself into a situation she wasn’t sure how to get herself out of, and it just felt flat. Although the story ties off almost all the aspects of the story, it always just feels like they didn’t all intertwine well with each other, but that may also have been because of my inability to become in invested in the story.

For those who want to know which piece I felt was not tied off please see below:

So, as we reach the conclusion of the book we don’t really ever get the answer of if she turned or not. It is basically left at “I’ll think about it.”

Overall, not the best but not the worst.
Based off of the writing and storytelling I don’t think I’ll be picking up this author again.

This book fell flat for me. Cassie was a typical messy main character who is trying to get it together and even though in the end she lands a great job, she does not grow as a character at all. All other characters, including the vampire love interest, are completely one dimensional. Within romance books, I don't have a strong preference for single or dual POV, but I think having chapters from Frederick's perspective could only have helped in this case.

The book also could have used some editing. In particular I found the timeline confusing at best and even contradictory a few times.

Reginald was the best character. I am so sorry but her trash art and his

accidental fruit summoning.... WHAT???

Frederick was adorkable but like would I ever in a million years be attracted to his character? NO. I enjoyed the funnies most of the time but generally the humor did not hit with me. It's like a rom-com meets a bit of outdated humor, like you can definitely tell the author is trying really hard to put internet references in and it feels weird. I wish books would stop mentioned pop culture but maybe that's a me thing. Overall I had a fun giggle time and I will read Reginald's book 1000%

“also need to borrow your little plastic money card thing one last time.”

“Everything I have heard about the internet makes it sound like a cancer upon the modern world. I am not certain I want it.”

“He might be an undead creature of the night - but as undead creatures of the night went, he was a marshmallow.”

“Over my dead body.”
“That’s easy enough to arrange,”

“By the time you knew what I really was, I wanted you to think I was impressive. Not just some clueless accidental kumquat conjurer.” LOL

3.5 stars. This was cute and fluffy and had some hilariously cringeworthy moments (the text conversations between the first few chapters were great). It seemed like 80% of the plot happened in the last 15% of the book though, so honestly that weird pacing lowered my opinion of the book as a whole. It was a nice fluffy brain break, but neither one I’d really recommend nor one I plan on returning to.

I liked it but

the whole kidnapping thing was kinda weird and the blackmailing plan was so unbelievable lol. No one was going to believe that video anyway, cause everyone would think it's fake, but oh well. Centuries old vampires are dumb I guess xd
