Immortal Pleasures by V. Castro

I wanted to love this book so badly!!!
It has a really cool premise and a very interesting commentary on colonialism. I loved reading the backstories of the vampires and my rage against the colonizers was at full display throughout this read.
Sadly though that was the only good part. The story was so rushed, and there were some stuff that had more time to be explored that truly didn’t need so much time since they didn’t pay off at the end.
Non spoilery spoilers:
The instalove also made me roll my eyes way too many times especially after the initial instalove with the other character. What was the point of it, of her leaving, and regretting it and coming back for a second chance to again let go of it within days and then switching partners (but no truly this is the love of my life this time 🙄). This vampire was way too old to be behaving like such an insecure and overthinking teenager.
The book was spicy and high I enjoyed, although again, with the wrong character in the wrong time 😅 and Latinx rep will always be dear to my heart, which is why it pains me so much to not have loved this.

I have to admit I picked this book solely for the title and I’m so glad I did!!! It had some of my all time favorite tropes like friends to lovers, fake dating and he falls first, it was also very sex and body positive which is rare to find even in books that feature plus size characters.
It had some stuff that were a little cringy so that’s the only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars but I truly loved it and I cannot wait to read the story of all the other siblings
