It had some good points. The last 80 pages were actually pretty good but the 300 before felt like a slog. I’ve seen people compare this to a twilight/50 shades fanfic, and I do see that.
I have the other three books, so I will be reading them. I can only hope they get better.

The characters are quite lovable, and I found the writing just really enjoyable to read! Read this one super fast as well, and can't wait to start the next book.
Pacing is ok here, though it's a little heavy with lore and other vampire culture information towards the end. I did like the way it starts though. The chemistry between the characters is fun to read as well (she calls him "old man", he calls her "pet", and he is endearingly out of touch with the modern world...)
Slight warning that there is some miscommunication; not a horrible amount, but the trope is there. Spice is light but enjoyable (would say 1.5/5), I liked the slow-ish burn of it.
Overall: will continue reading, really enjoyed the style of the book and I also like the characters and their banter.
