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.

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

I love that this is a vampire novel where the vampire doesn’t want an 18 year old girl, but a 30 something with financial instability. So much more relatable!

I really, really enjoyed this book. Vampires are one of my favorite things to read about anyway, but adding a "fish out of water" layer to it all and having us fall in love with the main characters as they fall in love with each other was super fun
