This was a fun goofy book that had me cackling at multiple points throughout. It was an interesting premise and I think the author did a *mostly* good job with it.

Unfortunately, it seemed like once it hit around the 3/4 point that the writing started going downhill. I don’t know if they ran out of time or what.

The sex scene(s) were alright, but what kept killing it was how often she said “please” during it. I had to go back and do a search in kindle to make sure I caught them all - she said “please” a whopping SEVEN times, and he said it once. That is bonkers and got really annoying.

The whole third act twist was not only somewhat bizarre, but totally anticlimactic. And I’m all for leaving an open ending if it’s going to be turned into a series, but I thought the ending was kind of lazy/wishy-washy.

So up until that stuff happened, I was totally planning on giving it 5 stars. After the sex scene(s) I thought about knocking a half star off, but after that third act crap I’m knocking it down to 4 stars. It’s disappointing when good books start falling apart at the ends.

I’ll definitely still recommend this to other people bc the humor is fantastic. I just wish they had spent a little more time fleshing out the last quarter of the book.

Possible spoilers but not giving specifics. I mention how I feel about the ending but do not give details, just vibes here.

Described to me by a fellow bookseller as a mix of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Kate and Leopold”. Lovable regency romance mixed with vampire drama with a dash of a modern rom-com? Sounded like a perfect palette cleanser. I really wanted to like this but with all its potential “My Roommate is a Vampire” fell completely flat.

The characters were lacking; moments of promised lovable character development was rare and mixed with drawn out, repetitive and sometimes, extremely cringey dialogue. The author focused on the most random things for far too long, leaving the ending feeling rushed and their connection hollow. We were also given hints to some really interesting lore and secondary characters but instead of exploring what they could add to the story, we get a vague mention and then sent right back into the same exhausting plot the author would not break from.

Overall, it was a relatively cute story with some genuinely hilarious moments of “wtf did they just say??” but felt like a first draft.

P.S. If I never read the words “staring at (insert mundane item, like shoes, here) like it was the most interesting thing in the world” or the word “incredulous”, again, it will be too soon.

Es una historia divertida, con unos personajes adorables, Frederick, el Vampiro, te ries mucho con sus modales del s. XVIII.
Me han encantado sobre todo las notas que se dejan entre ellos y las escenas en las que el pobre está desubicado.
Novela ideal para desconectar y pasar un buen rato.

This books is lighthearted and enjoyable. I had moments where I genuinely laughed and ultimately found myself enjoying the easy read.

This book is pretty much the epitome of rom-com energy. And considering that was the goal of the author, I would say it met it's mark. I know if I ever need a pick me up, I'll probably read this book again.

I would recommend reading this book when you want something light hearted, that gives off massive rom-com energy, and that you can relax with when you need to.
