Alexander was bitten by a werewolf. A bite from a werewolf puts vampires in a coma until their beloved saves them. After 121 years Alexander's beloved Maven shows up. Hes a ghost to her. Maven brings a game board to communicate with him so they can try to coexist. What will happen when Maven finally finds Alexander and sets him free?
It's horrible how Alexander only exists when Maven's around. I hate that he's put back in the darkness he's so afraid of when she's gone. I felt bad when she would hear his voice in public and think she was losing it. How cute is it that she brings out the game board to communicate with him! I was shocked at how strong their connection got. I love how drawn to that house Maven was her whole life. I'm obsessed with Pa and Dottie. That ending was a lot.

This book started out great and promising! It sucked me in and then went down hill.
There are too many inconsistencies, and its frustrating how the inconsistencies kept repeating themselves.
The amount of over explaining, and then over explaining the same thing over again was making me upset. Why would a vampire who doesn't know this other person and cant figure out what they are over share on everything he is? And why would you over share to your GRANDFATHER you were doing the bed sheet tango?
She has to get this house put back together and is having trouble and then all of a sudden the male MC is like yeah I can get a months worth of repairing done in an hour, why did he wait so freaking long to help?
Some of the spice was great until it became the same thing or just got weird.. the amount of times "virgin blood" was used during the dirty just made me feel icky...
It was annoying that she was poor and all of a sudden her grandpa saves the day and says "Surprise! I've been rich this whole time, here take this money!" What? And then it's like "my whole family is dead" PSYCH they were just chilling in a mud puddle...aye?
The bad guy was dying, just finish him! Why turn him and risk something worse?! Its like when a villain has the hero and has a long monologue before taking action so the hero wins - but in reverse.
I wanted to like this book, I really did, someone posted a clip of a chapter on TikTok and I was excited to read it! I was pretty disappointed.

I think the plot could be interesting if it was executed differently. There was no tension in the romance. The two protagonists were both basically obsessed with each other the first time they met on like page 40. She was also a virgin but acting like a porn star with him the whole time? Like the main character experiences a devastating loss and then is fucking the dude’s brains out like 5 minutes later And the sex scenes are super un-sexy. The author uses words like “cavern” for mouth, “mounds” for tits, and “globes” for ass. Overall, the spice is wattpad level writing. The narration is middle grade level or below. It was hard to picture a lot of what was being described, and so much of the book was cliche. ”A single tear ran down his face as he looked back at her.” bro, give me a break. “Pa gave me exactly the money I need to pay for the estate, and he has MORE! We were dead poor but now we’re suddenly millionaires!” it was shit like that that made it hard to read. Everything was handed to them, or everything was unrealistic in a way that pulled me from the story.
