This is a truly unique read. If you are looking for a light, fun summer read that is different than the normal beach read than this is the book for you! This book is an LGBTQ romance with a dash of fantasy and a whole lot of silly fun thrown in.

Laiken was a very likeable character, although somewhat clueless at times. I felt that Jareth's overly formal speech was exaggerated a little to the point of silliness. I did really enjoy some of the twists and turns of the story and didn't expect some of the directions the story went, so that was nice.

Overall this is a good read if you don't mind a steamy LGBTQ romance and not taking the story too seriously.

I was offered a free copy of this book for my honest review. ( )

This is a light, fun and silly read. A grumpy vampire on a tropical island. A fun loving character to balance him out. This book is a quick read and is great for when you want a book that doesn’t require a lot of thought and isn’t bogged down in intricate details. Simply put, this is a FUN read. ( )

This book was delightful. I marvel at how the author made vampires and merfolk have so much in common. Or at least how Jareth and Laiken, though differing in personalities, often found joy in the same things.

Though there were a few small errors, the writing overall was vivid. I enjoyed Jareth's manner of speech and hismlack of knowledge on human modernities. Very occasionally the story seemed impractical. (Minor spoiler) I find it difficult to believe that Jareth wouldn't have seen through Casimir's abuse sooner than he had. Even if he had fallen under Casimir's spell, he really shouldn't have been as shocked as he was about Casimir's true intentions.

Overall, this book was very enjoyable. I genuinely laughed out loud at times. And Jareth's musings on immortality were heart wrenching. A very balanced read.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily gave my honest review. ( )
