A Cruel Thirst

A super fun romantasy with a fun twist on gender roles with the FMC being the assertive dominant one and the MMC being the less assertive and sensitive one. A fresh take on vampires without the romanticization and the massive age gap. 

There were a lot of things about this book that I liked. I thought the plot was pretty well constructed, and I honestly adored Lalo and Carolina. Bookish, proper boy gets turned into a vampire while a strong-willed girl with a hot temper tries to prove herself as a vampire hunter? Just a great set-up. There was some solid atmosphere and dialogue. All that being said, overall it fell a little flat for me. I'm not sure the writing stood up to the ideas in it, and i think the pacing was a bit off. Still, an enjoyable and romantic adventure.
