4.5
This was so fun, I loved every minute of it!!! 4.5 stars easy. The whole time I was like “I LOVE how Buffy the Vampire Slayer this feels” only to read Roehrig’s thanks to the show in the acknowledgments (I love being right). The narrative voice was the perfect blend of genuine and snarky, which can be hard to pull off. Tone can land weirdly in fiction and I sometimes find myself more easily annoyed than the average person by funky tone, but I really, really enjoyed the humour in this book. I also really appreciated the subtle polyamory and the romance without it being an actual romantic endgame (a love triangle done right). I just had such a good time reading this and I would read it again in a heartbeat. More queer vampire stories please and thanks!!!! Extra brownie points if they make me laugh as much as this one does!
