Review: Vampires Never Get Old by Zoraida CĂłrdova

Image
  Rating :  ★ ★ ★ ★ Cawpile : 7.00 / 10 Release Date : 25th May 2021 Genre(s) : YA Urban Fantasy Anthology Happy Release Day! Massive thank you to Titan Books and NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.  I just want to start off by saying this anthology was great! It contained some really unique and incredibly diverse vampire stories (a lot of own voices authors also!) which took a fresh perspective on the genre, and was a true delight to read. Each short story is accompanied by a short ‘discussion’ by the editors, briefly talking about an issue related to the story about vampirism (such as mirrors, coffins, bats). Seven Nights For Dying by Tessa Gratton   ⭐️⭐️⭐️  This first story follows our main character who is an overweight bisexual teenager looking to be transformed into a vampire. It follows her week long journey of transition, giving her plenty of time to fully think about her decision. There was also trans representation and the short story

Review: The Lights of Prague by Nicole Jarvis

Image
  Rating :  ★ ★ ★ ★ Release Date : 18th May 2021 Genre(s) : Adult Urban Fantasy Massive thank you to Titan Books and NetGalley for providing me with a free ARC in exchange for an honest review. The Lights of Prague follows Domek Myska, a lamplighter, whose job secretly involves keeping the city of Prague safe from pijavice (vampires) and Lady Ora Fischerová, an aristocratic, bisexual widow, who just happens to also be a pijavica. It follows their relationship, and their intertwining storylines as they both attempt to save Prague, before the pijavice, who have recently discovered a cure, take over the city. I love these characters and the dual perspective the story followed. Domek is such an unlikely gentlemen, which was refreshing considering the majority of modern male love interests seem to be the alpha male type, and Domek was quite the opposite. Whilst, Ora was definitely a badass (with an emotional side). The romance between them is definitely not the focus of the book, but it was
