Two vampire families are working together despite their feud in order to stop the curse on the D’arcy house. Elio, a witch from the Kane family, and Valerian, the youngest and least liked son of the D’arcy family, have to face their fears and their hatred of each other to enter the house and remove it. And then there is blood drinking and hot vampire sex and freaky flowers and horror and yes! Check full list of CWs before attempting, but I am saying I highly fucking reccommend it.
This book has been sitting in my library for a while and someone pls tell me why, cause I ate up First Creation so hard I really should have known that this would also really get me. Mars adler is soo soooo good at writing these contained yet highly developed novellas… I never felt like I was being just thrown lore and backstory but it still seems very deep and well constructed- you really get an awesome sense of who these characters are and why, and you begin to really feel for them.
No seriously, Valerian D’arcy I would kill for you. Not that he needs me to, but I would do it anyway… HE IS SOOOOOO. Exactly my type of character, I love a man who covers the trauma up with smooth suave humor and flirtation. And Elio I would also like to wrap up in a blanket and tell him he is valuable and perfect. ANYWAY.
BUY THIS BOOK and then go spend a couple hours reading it, so fucking worth it, a thousand out of ten, I wish I could pay mars adler a million dollars a year like I am some sort of rich italian merchant patron.
Banter? Vampires? A haunted house? Literally what else could I ask for?
