  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
this was fun and felt like a classic genre vampire romance. with a couple nods to twilight and a good romance, i think this story delivers exactly what you’d expect.

julian, our filthy rich vampire, really delivers the edward cullen, elijah mikaelson, stefan salvatore realness we want in a vampire boyfriend. he’s a little brooding and he’s obsessed with our fmc, thea. she is a little dumb and unwavered by the whole vampire thing, but like… i think i would be too? we see eachother? 

i think the plotline is fun but i wish we got a little more to stand on its own as i feel like this one is suffering from first book in a series syndrome. regardless, i like the concept of a vampire social season as our main setting and i’d liked to have seen more of it. 

pros:
- i think i want the rest of the rousseaux family as MY vampire boyfriends and girlfriend
- he’s obsessed with her and i like that in a man
- i think a man who’s a thousand would still be this stupid sometimes and that’s realism baby!

cons:
- constant miscommunication between julian & thea
- most plot points were pretty predictable
- a lot of the other characters have very little personality besides “omg human girlfriend to our vampire prince???”
- the stakes (no pun intended) feel low with our villain mom and villain humans
