• Plot- or character-driven? A mix

Such a fun take on a vampire story! I thought it was really refreshing to have the vampires be goofy collage kids just trying to live their lives. And Kimberly was such a great FMC, she felt very real especially given how her backstory is presented. I like her learning to rely on other people as well and start to find happiness. And the slow build of tension not just between Kim and Aaron (love that when this series says slow burn the author was serious on the slow) but also the mystery of the Family and a mystery vampire, chef’s kiss. 

I also really liked that all of the brothers had distinct and completely unique personalities, none of them are muddled together. It made for peak found family vibes. I can’t wait to see the progression of this series.
