"Slaying the Vampire Conqueror" by Carissa Broadbent turned out to be a delightful surprise, even though I can't recall why I initially picked it up. Perhaps it was the appealing cover or the promise of a standalone romantasy instead of a series. Despite the cringe-worthy title, I found myself enjoying the book and not regretting my choice.
The story was a fun and engaging read, albeit somewhat predictable at times. However, the likable characters made up for any shortcomings in the plot. While this was my first experience with Carissa Broadbent's work, I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another one of her books in the future.
Overall, while "Slaying the Vampire Conqueror" may not be mind-blowing, it's surprisingly good, especially considering it was written by a white author. It's a testament to Broadbent's storytelling abilities and her ability to craft an enjoyable read in the romantasy genre.
