sinoclock 's review for:

Vampires at Sea by Lindsay Merbaum

2.0

tense fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Character

Strong character development: No

Loveable characters: No

Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

I think this was supposed to be comedic, but it wasn't funny. It was horny, but not arousing. The characters were unique, but unloveable. Reading things from the main character's POV was grating. I think this was intentional, but still wasn't a lot of fun. I love vampires and was pretty excited for the premise (queer Black Sea sex cruise with emotion-vampires, wow!), but was unsatisfied by the execution. I can feel the inspiration from Anne Rice & WWDITS dripping all over this, but it was so unfocused and confusing that it didn't quite come together, I think.

I received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
