Actually obsessed with this. Firstly, the actual plot doesn’t really start until after 400 pages in but every page before that is pure gold. Vlad is absolutely my favourite character, lil ancient submissive vampire doctor?? Excuse me??? Fabulous. Nathan also excellent. Intrigued by Ursula, can’t wait for the sequel. Obviously I read the flirting with fangs edition which is not for the faint hearted or those who don’t want to read EXQUISITELY written link negotiation but if that sounds like your jam I would HIGHLY recommend. The representation in this book is fabulous, bi/pan characters, excellent handling of disability, POC characters, CURVY GIRLS. It’s genuinely hilarious too, and I love the portrayal of Nathan’s family and also the guards on Eyrie.

Hard one to review. I felt the pacing was very uneven, with the first half being very focused on a character romance and then suddenly the last third remembering it had to introduce Ursula and being all doom and world ending. Which was very abruptly solved... There are a lot of characters in the first half who are promptly dropped, due to a switch in genre focus.
I can see where some plot threads will be pulled into the second book, but definitely needed some more pruning. The main duo are fun to read.
Have read that was is an episodic release on patreon, so that might be where the book format falls over.

This is my go-to comfort book right now! The romance is charming and healthy, the disability representation makes me feel seen, and the worldbuilding is intriguing.
