Three years after being sexually assaulted, Tess has a new life managing the night shift at a hotel and posting fan conspiracies about the
Blood Feud novels, which she claims are based on real vampires. But only when Blood Feud character and real vampire Octavia tracks her down does Tess actually believe it herself. Then a simple message to Callum, Octavia’s villanous twin, goes horribly wrong, and now Tess is stuck as the only human in a dimension of vampires. Surprisingly, the only one holding back the bloodthirsty hordes is Callum. Can Tess trust this dangerous man, and will she make it back to the real world? Stayman-London (
One To Watch) builds a cleverly designed world through interstitials, fascinating side characters, and well-written friendships. The romance here is about learning to trust and be vulnerable (plus coyly written love scenes, of course), and the book is all the stronger for it. A secondary romance between Tess’s friend Joni and Octavia is another highlight.
VERDICT A love letter to fandom, friendship, and freedom through allowing oneself to be seen fully. Equally recommended for fantasy and romance readers.
