SO good!! THE PINING. My only complaint is that it felt a little short like I wanted more of them!! The plot was very intriguing and I like that

the city’s plot doesn’t get resolved and that it continues into the next books with more characters.

It makes it more realistic yet hopeful at the same time. Loved reading about these silly guys

The two characters are so dumb in the best of ways. Their relationship made me giggle like a lovestruck girlie.

• two queer young men madly in love with each other and achingly bad at communicating
• like really, really bad
• one is a vampire
• mutual pining slowburn
• some (definitely platonic) bite kink
• great narrator making it ten times better

exactly what i needed for long car drives this week. probably will listen to the second book, especially if it's also narrated by Simon Dornet
