Love Bites, however, is actually much more serious than that. Look, if I see an illustrated cover and a punny title, I’m expecting a fun rom-com – but with vampires. I didn’t end up loving it the way I hoped to, which is a real shame, but I don’t think that’s entirely the book’s fault.
I have no idea how to talk about this novel. TW: I will be discussing domestic abuse, suicide and depression in this review.Ĭarmilla is one of my favourite classics, so a paranormal f/f romance novel featuring a mortal and a vampire is a novel I was always going to request for review. I received an eARC of Love Bites from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Chloe’s anxiety and depression can make it hard for her to leave the house, while memories of her ex haunt her at night.Īs sparks fly and romance blooms, Angela and Chloe struggle to hide their difficulties from each other – but sometimes the only way out is to let someone else in. Then she meets lonely but wryly humorous slush-pile reader Chloe, who’s battling demons of her own. A year later, she divides her time between her post-graduate degree (working on it in a dark, basement room, and only at night) and controlling her need for human blood.
In 1998, Angela was a smart, gothy astronomy student - until her then-girlfriend accidentally turned her into a vampire. It should be simple enough – there’s just the small matter of Angela’s aversion to sunlight.
