For fuck sake stop making me cry!
My body needs the water to survive! 😭
Okay, I was going to give this book 4.75 stars simply because most of the cast were barely present in this book and I deeply missed them.
However!.....however, the new characters, the absolute wonderful feeling I had witnessing Fred as a college professor and realising it would be his perfect job, the realisation that Fred is possibly the same type of vampire as the very first vampire (and that parahuman blood offered to him freely would make their powers permanently part of him and in their most potent form, which is puuuuure speculation on my part but I've seen the foreshadowing from the last book and this book and I'm fully convinced and I'm so excited!), and hearing Quinn's tragic backstory....all made it a criminal act to lower the rating of this book from 5 stars. I couldn't do it. I was completely incapable of doing it. This book is still Fred the Vamp Accountant in its prime, despite how far from the typical route the story went.
I think what makes this series so strong is that it can do literally anything, go any direction it wanted, and as long as Drew Hayes makes it feel like a Fred the Vamp book, it'll be amazing still.
This series is truly magical, I'm in absolute love with it, it's so charming and wholesome and sometimes dark and adult, it feels like an almost impossibly perfect blend of cosy fantasy and action.
I beg of you, dear reader, please give this series a chance, read it 🙏
