This was so fun! When I was given a chance to read/review thanks to Book Sirens the Synopsis had me immediately intrigued.
As someone who would happily spend the entire Summer in the shade with a cocktail and a book, I totally get the whole aversion to sun. But I also love a Seasonal Read and the cover just says Summer Reading to me. Adding vampires to a beach read is brilliant. I love how the author shook up long established tropes and wrote something totally fresh. There's even a Granny Vampire and a Vampire support group!
I don't want to say to much about the storyline because there's a great twist and I wouldn't want to spoil.
Loved its humor:
“So you’re a fancy blood guy. Only go for the best.
”I snickered. “Ah yes, this mortal is a vintage nineteen seventy-eight from the temperate fields of France with base notes of cheating on his wife and a gambling addiction. I’m afraid they’re not so distinct, nor have I met any vampire sommeliers. Sanguineliers?”
Romance is both Sweet and Steamy. To quote my friend Claire 'We do not Kink Shame' - this is very Open Door. Or should I say Open Grotto.
As a member of Fictional Hangover's Vampire Book Club https://m.facebook.com/336487586898210/ I'm always on the lookout for a great Undead Story. Fangscreen is just that.
I would love to read more in this world. Going to check out other books by this author as well.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
