How to Fake-Date a Vampire Paperback – Import, 31 August 2023

An amazing quick and light read...and the vampire family portrayed here is so amazing...I love them all...if you want to get out of a reading slump...this is it guys...

I would say this book falls in the romcom genre. This was a 5⭐️ read, very light on the spice!This book follows Emma, an orphaned witch with a longing to belong, as she needs to find a place to host an annual ball for her coven to become an official member. Emma decides the only place suitable to make her stand out is the Blackthorn Estate belonging to Alaric, a reclusive vampire duke. Alaric agrees to host the ball if Emma fakes date him to make his grandmother happy. The MCs are attracted to each other and start to develop feelings. But it is complicated because Emma has braised feelings about titles and wealthy people based on the actions of Alaric’s father, and Alaric was burned by a past girlfriend who sold his family secrets to the magical press.I always prefer books with dual POVs and this was no different. The author did a great job of character building; I could really feel Emma’s longing to belong and find a family, along with the pain Alaric feels at a past betrayal and desire to make his grandmother happy. The world building and descriptions in this book were an effortless continuation from the first book. The journey of Emma and Alaric building upon their feelings is so sweet! We get comedy from Emma’s playful and sass familiar, Penelope the Skunk! I love Alaric’s grandmother, she is so posh and regal but approachable and lovable, plus she loves binge watching TV in secret (Breaking Bad fan!)Thank you NetGalley, Bonnie Doon Press and Linsey Hall for the opportunity to read and provide an honest review. I requested this book after it was release because 1) I didn’t know it was on KU and 2) I didn’t know it was book 2. Therefore, I did not read this until I read the first book.

I love all your books.This one is fantastic!Thank you so much for all the magic, love, misunderstanding and happy end!

I'm not quick to kiss up and gush over a writer. Having said that, I love Linsey's world of Charming Cove and it inhabitants.Our witch, Emma, and the Duke Alaric, strike up a deal where he will allow Emma's coven hold their Beltane Ball on his grounds if she pretends to be his girlfriend for his grandmother's benefit. Of course they fall in love.Is Book 3 out yet? No? I'll wait.

Emma und Alaric sind so wunderbare Charaktere, auch Aria spielt eine relevante Rolle :) Die Autorin hat es geschafft so eine schöne, cozy Fantasy Rom-Com zu kreieren! Ich werde noch lange über die Bücher nachdenken und freue mich über Band 3.
