Literally two queer disasters falling in love.  It was really cute.  Vincent being such an awkward vampire and Wesley being a chaotic human who was just as awkward made for a dynamic I didn't know I needed to read about until I read it.

I really enjoyed vampire books where the vamps live along with the humans, it's always interesting to see how the worldbuilding will play into that.  The setting was nice too, it really helped with the overall vibe from the book.

While it was fast-paced the romance was a slow burn.  Wesley and Vincent were really cute together and I really liked the idiots in love, friends to lovers, awkward gay panic they had.

A great read, very enjoyable not as much spice as I’m used to but still a little bit and the plot is amazing can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
