Loved this! Such a strong debut! Interesting & diverse characters, good pacing and wonderfully written romance.

I fell in love with the main characters and their funny quirks and the romance feels natural and well-paced, no rushing - a real slow-burn - the chemistry between Nino and Haruka is off-the-charts! World-building comes naturally and it's definitely a new take on the vampire-trope! This book made me laugh and feel, over all i enjoyed this way more than i thought i would!

One of my favorite lines:
Life handed him lemons. Instead of making lemonade, he packed his suitcase and left the fruit rotting on the counter.

5/5 stars easily! I highly recommend this book for readers who are looking queer-romance, light fantasy and slow/medium-burn romance with some fantastic character development.
