This book is so outrageously sweet. It uses all of the tropes if love, vampires & werewolves to tell a charming and endearing love story!

I saw this book on social media and I love reading about vampires so I wanted to find it. The fact that it was also a graphic novel and looked very pretty was a plus. The story went by really fast and I wished it had been a little slower to see Elise & Jimmy’s relationship unfold together. However, with them I got a little bit of Mavis & Johnny vibes. Just that Johnny was a human in Hotel Transylvania but I felt like if he wasn’t a human this would have been them.

This book also had a darker sense of humor than I thought, but helped it be more adult in nature with how Elise & Jimmy interacted and joked about each other and themselves as ‘monsters’.

One great part of it being a graphic novel is that you could see & understand parts of them without having to have them state it outright with words or a descriptive paragraph. I was able to get through this book in about 16 minutes according to StoryGraph. Went so fast that I didn’t even get quotes and notes down, but I can always read it again later to get a quote if I really want one.

I actually laughed out loud when he opened the curtains and Elise just BURST into flames in the bed
Why does the “I want your love blood quote that’s on the back of the book not a part of the actual story? I think that could have been really cute as a scene.

really cute! really really love sarah's art style. elsie is a gender icon. just a lighthearted collection of short pages about these two. maybe found myself wanting some sort of arc or structure to latch onto, but that's not what it's going for and that's okay!

This graphic novel was exactly what I needed to get out of a reading slump. A cute, romantic, opposites attract type of situation was all that I needed. And of course, it was a perfect read to begin the month of October. The art style was adorable, and I instantly fell in love with our characters.

When they say opposites attract, that is an understatement when it comes to Elsie, a 300-year-old vampire, and Jimmy, a werewolf. These two are facing all the joys of a new relationship plus a little more with their unique characteristics. This short graphic novel brought forth many of the realities in relationships - first times, finding out each other's quirks, fights, deep conversations, cute moments, and supporting each other in their own uniqueness. 

I just loved it, and it felt so warm? cozy? bloody? lol all of the above!
