This book was a surprise! I wasn't sure what to expect, but it'sbeen on my radar for years and I decided to finally give it a chance. I loved the characters, the plot was intriguing, the twists were fun and made me audibly gasp in some places. Who doesn't love a good Chosen One story, and this is no different. Now I need to pick up the second book immediately!

I love the adventure and the concept and the writing.
It's gay and queer and I love that. But why does the author completely ignore the concept of bisexuality.

One of the characters keeps wondering if he's gay when he dated a girl for 3 years and he never wonders wether he's bi.

It's weird to completely ignore the word and the concept in these circumstances.  It feels like bi-erasure to me.

It is filled with great, lovable characters such as: disaster, sour cherry scone loving chosen one who can’t control his magic; best friend who is done with her friends crap, but still loves and supports him anyway; girl who likes ex-boyfriends (who is still in love with her) arch-nemesis; and finally disturbed (not my word, his), depressed, suicidal (at times), self-loathing, dramatic, gay vampire

who is in love with the boy who is supposed to be his arch-nemesis.

It’s great book that has a romance in it that doesn’t completely take over the plot. You could take out the romance and it would be just as good, having said that it is a wonderful addition.

What makes it even better is that it is the enemies to lovers trope.
