Brilliant! I love this. it's absolutely fantastic. I love Pandora the vegetarian vampire and Victor the human student studying vampire literature.  I need a sequel.

** I received a free ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. **

Publication date: 14 August

I liked the first half this book better than the second half. It's got one of my least favorite plot lines
3rd act breakup
and then ending felt a little too rushed. Pandora's family put on quite the show while pretending to be human (or just clearly forgetting to not act like a vampire) and I like how the members of her family interacted with Victor. I'm hoping we get an enemies to lovers romance next based on a couple of the side characters in this book!

Humor, fake lovers, vampires, werewolves, books, coffee, and drama collide in the best possible way. Pandora and Victor’s fake engagement is full of tension, funny moments, and just enough spice to keep things interesting.

Lucy and Elias stole my attention with their flirty back-and-forth, and I need their story next. Dante’s experiment adds a layer of mystery that makes me curious for more.

This book was impossible to put down. I cannot wait to see what happens next.

I ate this up! It was funny, had some heart warming moments, had moments i was wanting to grab a steak, etc. I feel like the author sprinkled a little something in it, because I was going through reading withdrawls because I was forced to work and not read! 

I loved how sweet both Victor and Pandora were. Not only were they both passionate about books and read TO EACH OTHER, but were passionate about each other. Like how Pandora wanted to have a relationship like her parents, she got it! I loved it so much!

I also loved the relationship between Pandora and Lucy! Lucy is definitely a girls girl and has Pandy's back! Was always thinking of human things to say to Victor, didnt like Bellatrix, and also helped Pandy get the drink she needed. I do think/hope the next book this author writes will continue the story of Lucy and Elias, because they were HILARIOUS when butting heads. I snorted A LOT at their quips!

This is the perfect supernatural pick me up. A feel good read from start to finish, I loved Victor and Pandora, the slow burn romance was really well done.
The humour involved throughout was the perfect amount and I particularly enjoyed the banter between Elias and Lucy.

Thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books UK for the ARC
