Revamped is a refreshing read interjected with moments of humour, romance and complicated family dynamics. I appreciated the combination of a grumpy/miserable/adaptable vampire with a sassy female protagonist. Shirley Goldberg successfully created an immersive world, and I liked the concept of an energy vampire and the foodies (humans). Dante is a good character, relatable, socially awkward and old-fashioned, a breath of fresh air. The instant connection and chemistry with fiery Sophie were well captured with excellent banter and flirtation. How they take care of each other amidst their families was endearing. However, specific phrases seemed outdated and borderline juvenile for characters in their thirties which hampered my reading experience. Look no further if you're looking for banter, romance, great characters and creative world-building. I received an advance review copy from BookSirens. This honest review is left voluntarily.
