The Vampire in the Bookstore by Elle M. Drew
3.0
2.5 stars for me personally. I have always loved vampires so of course when I saw the cover I got really excited and the introduction page mentioning all my favorite TV vampires added to it even more, but this novella kind of dragged a bit....especially given how short it is. I appreciate the dual POV (it's one of my favorite forms of narration) but I felt like there wasn't much added when the POV would change from Declan or Rosamund. Phrases got repetitive and while the chemistry was there the relationship still felt shallow by the end. We know they both love books, we know they both are attracted to each other but I feel like some of the chapters could've been reserved to deepening their relationship considering they're going to be spending eternity together. Also considering the CWs for the kinks and a vampire involved the sex scenes were pretty tame. I finished it but it wouldn't be pick it up for a reread.
