It just wasn’t enough for me.Īn Italian vampire and a Japanese vampire travel the world whilst falling in love? Say no more. That said, the two main characters are the best part of this book and I can see how someone could overlook the many issues because they were fond of them. And considering that at its core this is a romance novel, it’s entire job is to ensure you’re invested in the romantic relationship. So when they finally get together, I realized I didn’t care either way. (Or maybe it was, I started skimming at the 70% mark because I was over this shit show.)īecause of all the holes in the world building and the, in my opinion, poor writing style, I couldn’t really connect with the characters. Apparently if pure bloods die out, the entire vampire species dies out. In this book, vampires have learned to feed on each other instead of humans because human blood make them weaker and dumber, so pure bloods are vampires who come from a long line of other vampires who didn’t feed on humans. Pure bloods have to cater to the minute needs and wants of lesser ranked vampires. Getting to the actual plot itself, we follow a pure blooded vampire who has to do a bunch of political work he doesn’t like doing because of… reasons.

It screams inexperienced author and was wildly uncomfortable to read. Which I get isn’t objectively wrong, but it’s almost always used in exclusively first novels and by writing students. Beyond the bad world building, it’s all written in present tense for some reason. This read like poorly written fan fiction, honestly.
