I'm back in my vampire romance era.

This book brought me back to my Twilight days, and I was not at all upset about it. I like that Twilight was even mentioned. I thought it was a cute detail. I enjoyed this and will continue reading the rest of the series. I think the cover is beautiful.

I liked the twist of Grace not being a human even though I figured she wasn't but what I didn't guess is that she was going to end up being a gargoyle!

I can't wait to see how it plays out in the upcoming books

It was ok but felt very Twilight-coded, until the last 15% which felt completely out of nowhere!! Like seriously, what the hell even happened there. It was going to be probably 3 or 4 stars before then, but oh my god what even was that ending?!? Overall, it was still entertaining, but yeah the ending really ruined it for me

I would probably not call this a "good" book, but it definitely has given me some serious entertainment & a lot to think about, including:

1. This author's fixation with being over-the-top tongue-in-cheek about the genre in which she is writing. I have over a dozen quotes noted down where she has the MC mention this is "just like a romance novel" or "just like a horror movie". The worst offender is when the vampire love interest LITERALLY gives the MC a copy of Twilight. I will say, it is funny but perhaps not in the way the author intended.
2. Dialogue is poorly-written, this is sometimes also very funny in an unintentional way.
3. There is no rhyme or reason to lore, Twilight lore is more internally consistent than this.
4. Going off of point #3, the outright fact that vampires are mammals in this universe and that born-vampires exist, but they cannot drink milk. Curious as to what baby vampires subsist on and how they get the mammal classification if their mothers don't feed them with milk.
5. I don't want to spoil it but the Plot Twist Reveal about the MC made me cry I laughed so hard. I would call it brave, groundbreaking even, but my friend told me not to.

I am compelled by "bad" art that is supremely interesting and I am having a lot of fun liveblogging this series to my friends, so I will be reading the rest of them... but I don't want to recommend them unless that's the kind of thing you're into.

Is this book good? Objectively no.
Is the writing good? Absolutely not.
Did I have a good time? An unhinged one, yes.
Will I be continuing the series? Yes for the absurdity factor alone.

I listened to the audiobook. It reads like an early 2000-2010s YA high school vampire series even though its from 2022??? The parallels to Twilight are stark and literally mentioned?! Nothing makes sense. There is no plot. It's insta-lovey in all the worst/best ways. The dialogue is cringe worthy. If you are here for a trashy good time then sure, it's maybe for you.

1.5/5 🌶️

Definitely entertaining but the writing seemed a bit juvenile at points and predictable. I will continue reading the series because it has kept me intrigued and reading despite those points.
