A Ghoul's Kiss by J.M. Stoneback
4.0
My first impression of this book was not great. I have a background in medicine so in the first couple chapters there were some glaringly obvious inaccuracies that I couldn’t stop thinking about. First off, anyone who survives liver cancer is not going to be drinking alcohol. Second, the doctor who gives Sarah a blood transfusion doesn’t check her blood type. He also is using a vein on the back of her hand which is probably one of the worst placements I can think of. Any vein there would be far too small for the size of the needle required to not damage the blood cells or completely blow out that vein. Also a patient needs literally constant observation in the first 15 minutes during a transfusion.
With my medical rant over, I was captivated by the rest of the story. I always enjoy stories that give you more about supernatural characters than you constantly hear in fairy tales and popular movies. It gives you so much more depth to the characters because you can’t really compare them to ghouls or vampires you’ve come across before.
If you enjoy supernatural romance, you’ll love this story. The only people who are going to be bothered by the medical parts are going to be ones with medical backgrounds but a lay person won’t really notice it much. A few of the plot twists were relatively easy to pick up on early but it only made me read faster to get to where other characters will figure it out. Looking forward to the sequel!
