DNF - charming concept with some cute passages, but typos, frustrating characterization, and a snail’s paced plot killed my interest

Good book but not as good as 'love in the time of zombies' which I found more witty.
Lots of funny moments in this one though. Fast paced action. Writing style a little off for me though and I could not always connect with the characters.

Hyvä idea, jonka toteutus jäi alkukuoppiinsa. Jos ottaa kirjan keskeiseksi jutuksi genren kliseillä leikittelyn, silloin siihen pitäisi sitoutua. Nyt kehno, kliseiden täyttämä romanssikirja, johon päähenkilö juuttuu, ei itseasiassa ole kliseiden täyttämä, vaan pelkästään kehno. Olisi ollut hauskaa lukea kirjaa, jossa kirjailija rohkeasti ja genretietoisesti käyttää lajin hyvin tunnettuja ja monien rakastamia kliseitä, ja kertoo oman tarinansa siinä sivussa. Lisäksi kirja olisi tarvinnut kustannustoimitusta, liikaa jumituttiin vatvomaan päähahmojen tunteita ja jopa ainoa kunnollinen seksikohtaus jäi vatvomisen jalkoihin. Hukattu mahdollisuus.

The main character gets isekaied into a romance novel and I fucking love that genre.
~While the MFC wasn't reborn as the villainess, she is a book editor that was transported into a bad fantasy romance novel
~I really liked all the tropes Gannon poked fun at, and the characters were really fun and fleshed out.
~The setting of Chicago but wrong is also really fun. It takes a lot of talent to deliberately create a world and make it both make sense and also not make sense. The world is bonkers and inconsistent, but it's fun and exciting.
~Having the main antagonist be a himbo-Fabio-vampire is inspired, and I was so glad that he got his true happily ever after in the sequel.
~I saw the sister-twist coming, but I was still really happy to read those scenes.
~I don't really understand how wizard-warlocks bond, but considering they're like vampires but more magic I guess it makes sense. Of all the world-building in this book, I think this was the wibbliest for me.
~I had a blast reading this and immediately went to read the sequel.
