Kiss Kiss Fang Fang by Penelope Bloom

enchantingliterature's review

4.0

I recently finished Kiss Kiss Fang Fang by Penelope Bloom and I loved it. It was a funny, fluffy, with a little spicyness romance between a quirky girl and a grumpy vampire! I can't remember any vampire book that was set as a rom com and I have to say I am here for it! I'm super excited to check out her other books.

I like weird humour. I like books that satirize tropes and such. Witty banter, adding some silly things that embarrass the paranormal creatures, weird awkward scenarios etc. I really enjoy books with that kind of stuff in it. I think that was what the author was going for, a silly play on the classic vampire tropes, with weird humour and such. But sadly for me, it just didnt work. There was not enough really clever humour in it for me to really classify it as a Romantic Comedy, as a majority of the plot is focused on these shoot outs, and this big evil Vampire gang trying to kidnap the main heroine, but the action plot felt a bit too slap dashed together and formulaic, with nothing really original to add to the trope of Good vs Bad, and really no cohesive ending, to really consider this an action book

Its like the author was unsure exactly what type of book she wanted to write. The Comedy was kinda meh, and sporadic. The Action was heavily present but not really interesting. Even the Romance was a bit..quick. Like the main characters have to be together through a supernatural bond that makes them horny for eachother. Okay cool. I actually liked the banter and the romance during that part of the book, as they needed to not sleep together for reasons, but the bond kept trying to push that. But after it faded, it just felt... I dont know, so artificial. Like they went from Supernatural forces are making us want eachother to we are so deep in love we’d die for eachother. No I know romances in romance novels move fast and hard. It just, all this happens over a series of like weeks. It just seemed too much.

The Characters are fun tho, and I did enjoy sitting and reading it. Don’t know if I would try other stuff from this author, maybe? I wouldnt recommend this to someone as a OH! You should totally check this out. But I mean, if you want something kinda silly and mindless to read, it could be fun.
