I thought I was signing up for a little silly spicy vampire book and then also got like... commentary on marginalisation, othering, allegory for other various types of medical exploitation?!

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

This book just wasnt for me. 

We're supposed to feel sorry for the vampire MMC but his behavior is creepy and does not improve.

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