I kept pushing myself through this book hoping that I would end up rooting for and liking the main couple...but there's way too much back and forth. Will they won't they? And then random things/people thrown in seemingly to add layers but not really fully fleshing it out...

Originally I was going to still read book two, thinking it was a duology and the story could be brought together in a good way...but I realized it's a 4 book series focusing on this main couple and...I just don't have the energy now to push my way through that much. 😅

DUDE. Dude. This was so much fun!! All I can say is that if you like grumpy sunshine, mates, vampires, or fake dating this is for you. I don’t have time to say anything else because I already own book two and I need to read it right now!

This book was frustrating for me. The focus on virginity was weird and uncomfy but largely ignorable. My main issue is that it ended with an unhappy cliffhanger. This honestly felt like a cheap trick to make me read the next book. It's working on me, but I don't appreciate it. This is more irritating for me because ending it just about a chapter earlier would give it, if not a happy ending, at least a hopeful one, and the last chapter could have been at the start of book 2. The writing comes off as a bit fanfic-y for me. It feels like it was written in order, coming up with the plot as it goes along, with minimal revisions to the earlier sections, leaving it without any strong throughline.

I’m so upset for Thea. She deserves everything in the world and this dusty crusty MAN can’t give it to her. She’s literally working 2 jobs, going to school AND taking care of her mom who has cancer. That man just waltzed in and ruined everything. 
I hate men.

I received a complimentary copy of this book via Netgalley. Opinions expressed in this review are my own opinions.

I firmly believe that Filthy Rich Vampire has put me in a thrawl. By the end of the first chapter, I was hooked and sneaking in some reading whenever I had a second. 

This book is a wonderful mix of romance, action, and banter that kept me entertained throughout every chapter.

The only downfall is that it ends with a Clifford hanged, I need to know what happens next.
