i will say though that it was mainly no plot just vibes for majority of the book while the plot simmered slightly in the background. but the vibes were immaculate & i was here for it. (i do also think this book definitely focused more on the romance while building up the main conflict for book 2 so i wasn’t very fussed.)
one thing that that is more a personal pet peeve was the use of romanised japanese (and other languages) when they switched to those languages in dialogue. it never went for more than one or two lines each time, and they were translated but just not my thing.
definitely still a 5 🖤 rating though for being a quick, enjoyable and easy read + i’m just a sucker for vampires :]
