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!)

I won’t lie, this book was better than any book called “The Hot Vampire Next Door” had any business being haha.

It was okay. Enough for me to want to know what happens next but a lot of the female mc reactions were to overly exaggerated disproportionately to what was happening to her. Mildly annoying but can overlook since it’s a short story

I am a huge fan of the Vicious Lost Boys series, so I already know I love Nikki St. Crowe’s writing. This is a collection of the first 18 “episodes” of this series on Kindle Vella, so it is a very quick read. Since it is written on an episode-by-episode basis, the plot is going by quickly. It’s very insta-love and I don’t even care because they have so much sexual tension. I ate it up and instantly downloaded the next season. I read it as if I was watching a steamy nighttime soap opera. It’s a great digestible late night read, but it did keep me from sleeping because I couldn’t put it down.
Bran is super hot and the way he is already super protective of her.. omg
