A vampire and a human with a painful past find themselves working together to solve a case—and navigating their complicated, growing feelings for each other. As a huge fan of the first two books in the Monster Relations Bureau series, I couldn't wait to dive into the third installment, and Leigh Miller did not disappoint.

I loved the setup: from Ophelia’s family history and how it drives her, to Casimir’s own struggles with his past and how he perceives himself. Their stories intertwine so well on so many levels. I especially appreciated that Ophelia is a slightly older FMC—strong, confident, yet still growing and healing. And Casimir? Utterly charming with that secret heart of gold I always fall for. Vampires aren’t usually my thing, but I loved him. Plus, the spice! Some amazing fang action in there with those pain/pleasure bites we know and love.

This felt like a mature, grounded take on a second-chance romance, and it totally captivated me. The case they’re working on wasn’t as gripping as I’d hoped, but honestly, the chemistry between the two helped make up for it. I barely noticed the rest of the plot! Can’t wait for more books in the series.
