The vibes of Castlevania plus queer polyamorous vampires.

Silver Under Nightfall (Reaper, #1) by Rin Chupeco

November 21, 2023 by narfna Leave a Comment

If you’re here for the vibes, you will like this book. I was indeed here for those vibes. I like Castlevania. I like queerness and sexiness. I like a darker fantasy. I like conflicted main characters. But there really isn’t anything here for someone to grab onto if you need more than vibes. I am a little sad to say that it was a more shallow reading experience than I was expecting. I’m saying shallow but clearly I enjoyed myself, with a four star rating. […]

Hunting vampires is always a dangerous business

Guilty Pleasures (Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter #1) by Laurell K. Hamilton

December 28, 2021 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I’ve had Guilty Pleasures by Laurell K. Hamilton on my shelf for several years. This is the first book in the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series. As a lover of vampires and urban fantasy, I have been curious since it’s been around a long time. I finally decided to pick it up for Dewey’s readathon. One of the bingo challenges was to read the oldest book on your to-be-read shelf. The story introduces us to Anita Blake who is a private investigator. She is licensed to […]
