thebookcourt 's review for:
Thirsty
by Lucy Lehane
Thank you to St.Martin’s Press, Lucy Lehane, and NetGalley for the e-ARC in exchange for my honest review.
When I read “paranormal romantic comedy with enemies to lovers and scorching chemistry”, yall know I’m jumping on that immediately. Add in a super cute vampire/human queer relationship and honestly I don’t see where anything could go wrong.
Charlie is our advice columnist, down on his luck, struggling to get the attention his column, Wise Old Crone, needs in order to make a name for himself. A chance meeting with a vampire from his past offers Charlie a way into the supernatural world (aka what everyone wants his column to be about). He jumps at the chance to ask Lorenzo all his questions, not realizing that Lorenzo has plans to exact his revenge on Charlie for his role in the love of his life leaving him. As the story goes one, circumstances bring Charlie and Lorenzo closer than ever, but with secrets still hanging between them, betrayal is on the horizon.
I absolutely adored every second of this book. We’ve got our grumpy vampire who’s tired of the same old, same old. In comes our sunshine advice columnist, who even when things aren’t going his way, his enthusiasm to learn more about Lorenzo is addictive. Seeing how Charlie would get Lorenzo to smile even in the beginning was so sweet.
Definitely some fantastic tension, especially after the succubi art show (the way they saw two different scenes omg). I also just really loved the dynamic between the two of them. Even if things were purely sexual from the beginning, they both had a way of sensing that one of them needed or wanted more.
If only that connection had allowed them to communicate fully (ahem talking about you Charlie). The whole avoidance of talking about his column was frustrating. Especially because his “lie” about the thesis was pretty much just the column in a different format. Therefore when things came to a head and Lorenzo got upset, it was like ummm but he literally said this was what he was writing.
Anyways, besides that, this book was phenomenal. I loved learning about the different supernaturals, the wolf wedding was a hoot (are we thinking that the blowup was because of Wise Old Crone??) and I just loved these characters so much.
Def recommend if you’re into supernatural queer romance with some great combination of humour and sweetness!
