Although, I read this by reading each individual installment, or novella, I still wanted to leave a review here as well.
I really enjoyed this dystopian, post-apocalyptical vampire tale about a shunned vampire princess. This does feature a small dose of romance - which I expect to take off in the next Charlie Travesty book. Yay!
If you want to know what I had to say about each individual novella, then check out the links below. (As of 2/1/21, I haven't written reviews for each installment yet. Soon.)
A Whisper in the Dark by Jessi Elliott, KJ Sutton ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A Light in the Dusk by Jessi Elliott, KJ Sutton ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
A Memory in the Flame by Jessi Elliott, KJ Sutton ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A Sacrifice in the Smoke by Jessie Elliott, KJ Sutton ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A fresh take on vampires, with strong writing, playful banter and sexiness, a colorful cast of characters, and plenty of action and mystery, Charlie Travesty has everything you want in paranormal romance! Jessi and Kelsey are the perfect author pair!

I’m not sure that this was the best book to start the year off with, but I still enjoyed myself overall.
Charlie Traversty is a paranormal romance following Charlie, a vampire princess, as she’s ripped from her life of comfort and thrown into the harsh life of New Ve. She must fight the weepers that live in the tunnels under the city and make friends with humans and bounty hunters to survive.
My biggest gripe was the logical inconsistencies in the story. Maybe I just wasn’t paying attention enough, but it seemed to break some established rules of the world and characters had conversations about things they should already know. There weren’t so many that it hindered the whole story but they were noticeable.
I enjoyed our heroine, Charlie. I always love to read about characters that live in comfort having to learn to cope in harsh worlds. It’s the perfect opportunity for character development and this was no different. Of course Charlie is a little impulsive like most heroines in paranormal books, but she’s a vampire so it fits her character.
Drew was such a sweetheart. Always looking out for Charlie and making her feel welcome.
I’m undecided on Noah. I usually enjoy the bad boy trope but some of his sexual innuendos felt so forced I couldn’t help but cringe. I guess we’ll see if he grows on me in the second book.
I’m eager to learn more about the world. This one mostly focused on vampires, humans and the weepers but I’d love to learn more about the other creatures.
While I didn’t think I’d continue on in the series, that ending has me wanting to read on. I think this would be for you if you enjoyed Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas or if you’re new to paranormal romance.

Guys I am not normally a big vampire fan, but oh my gosh I love this series! It takes place in this gritty dystopian world, its heart warming, heart breaking, infuriating, suspenseful and oh so sexy!

I really enjoyed my time reading Charlie Travesty. This book has all the things I love books which mainly comes down to dark haired and sarcastic love interests. This plot and world were both super unique. The ending of the final serial was so good and I'm so happy I read this close to the release of the next part, although I will probably wait to buy book 2. This world was super interesting and complex and unique and the characters were really great as well. Super glad I enjoyed this book so much. If you enjoyed Crescent City this gave me similar vibes.
