Book Review: My Boyfriend is a Vampire by Eva Knight

UK Release Date: October 19, 2023
US Release Date: TBD

Take everything you know and love about Helena Hunting's hockey novels or stand alone rom coms and add vampires. It was fun and funny and sweet and spicy and just a little bit silly, but in the good way. Taking place on a college campus, Hazy is in her last year in her pre-med undergrad program and determined not to make the same boy mistake she makes every year. Enter Godric, He and his brothers have moved into the haunted house on Greek Row, apparently inheriting the old building from their great-uncle. Godric is gorgeous and something about his very being sets off fireworks in Hazy's pants.

The insta-lust was so funny and ridiculous and over the top (again, in the best way) that I managed to forget I don't actually enjoy insta-lust stories most of the time. This book felt very much like a rom-com with paranormal elements rather than a paranormal romance, which isn't a bad thing but definitely something to be aware of.

While I wish there was a bit more on the lore behind vampires and world-building of the vampire/magical society I enjoyed the vampire mythology immensely. Especially the way feeding on Hazy effected her. Plus, the data nerd in me loved all of the experimentation and data they took and how talking about it was foreplay for them. It was weirdly hot.

I do think Blaine's gross factor may have been a little over the top and that there was a missed opportunity for increased peril at the end. But I'm happy in the knowledge that Blaine will spend eternity on Fire Ant Mountain (the place where all of Helena's worst characters go).

I hope we get a chance to see more in this series because there is a lot of territory that can be explored with these characters and with the side characters introduced. 4/5⭐  4/5🔥
