Might add a full review eventually. Until then: it’s a fun, quick YA vampire story. Nothing super surprising yet it doesn’t feel as been-there-read-that as I’d have suspected. I do have one question though: why is everything covered in stickers?...more

Renate Rowland has a way of roping me in with how she wraps the most brutal anxiety into something so addictive that I’ll gladly take the pain. Much like the first book of the Web of Wyrd series, this one is no different. Well… except maybe it hurt even more. ...more

Ok so here's the thing. This series consists of books titled as 'seasons' like a TV show. And now that I've read four out of the five books I have to say, this is pretty much the vibe :D
The MMC is hot and brooding and possessive and powerful and... everything I want from a vampire MMC basically. And I understand that it sometimes is hard to come up with entirely new concepts in the vampire genre as it has gone through many popular phases. This series doesn't claim to be novel in its conception or special in the Vampire lore. It sticks to the basics and succeeds by focussing on strong character dynamics.
I really enjoyed Hot Vampire Next Door so far (I still have to read the 5th book as of now and am waiting for the audiobook to drop). Is it the best vampire series ever written? No. But I'm not sure I can award any series that claim rn. It is, that I can confirm, a well written, easily flowing series with a good main and fun sub plots. I found myself rooting for the FMC and her relationship and enjoyed that their journey is less about dancing around each other in slow burn and more about growing and developing in the face of outside dreads.
As always, Nikki St. Crowe knows how to write them hot and her style is one I find almost relaxing to read/listen to.
Though for me, none of her works will ever compare to her Lost Boys series, this one is definitely a second. I actually enjoyed this more than her standalone Dark Vampire Curse (and would have loved if they had been interconnected, ngl!)...more
3.5 cuuuute little read! The MMC is a gem and I love him. I very much enjoyed the twist on the virginity trope, the plot was intriguing and it did make 3.5 cuuuute little read! The MMC is a gem and I love him. I very much enjoyed the twist on the virginity trope, the plot was intriguing and it did make me curious the rest of the books hosted in that world! Unfortunately, I felt like the writing wasn't as polished as it could have been. The potential is definitely there so and I kinda hope to see it evolve in the other books....more
Wow. First of all: A vampire romance by Nenia? Hell yes! Now, this is not your typical romance for sure.
The thing I love most about Nenia's books has gWow. First of all: A vampire romance by Nenia? Hell yes! Now, this is not your typical romance for sure.
The thing I love most about Nenia's books has got to be the way she paints unconventional beauty in roughness and shadows. Her MMC, while instantly attractive, is contradictory and dark enough to leave me with a restless sensation. The atmosphere and aesthetic are as rugged and rough, stunningly beautiful in their imperfection, as the characters and plot.
I enjoyed this so much. Nenia's books just... feel different is all I can say. I love an author that is bold enough to not explain and resolve every detail and trusts the reader to fill out the blanks with their own fantasy. It makes for an immersive reading experience that, to me, is unmatched.
This book might not be for people that require to be coddled and wish for fluffy, traditional closure. For all those that find beauty in crude darkness though, the story of Bethany and James might offer solace in sadness. ...more
