I accidentally hooked up with a vampire

Jobless, mortgaged, and dodging a creep? Whitney's life just became a Romantasy-fueled dumpster fire... that's actually hilarious. Jessica Cage's latest, I Accidentally Hooked Up With A Vampire, promises laugh-out-loud moments amidst the chaos.

Overview

Whitney's life was going great until it all came crashing down. She loved her job, was expecting a promotion, but instead of announcing her promotion, they fired her! She just signed a mortgage!

She has to hold it together, though she refuses to ruin her friend's celebration. While trying to avoid her slimy former coworker, she runs into Domino. She thought her life was tough now ... it's about to get really complicated.

Positives

I absolutely love their spunk. Jessica Cage's female characters never disappoint. She also has a comical way of writing, and you feel like you really are the main character. I'm kind of a snob when it comes to comedy; it's not often that I will laugh out loud when reading a book, but I did multiple times when needing this book.

The world the author has created is rich and has well-thought-out characters. I like how she stuck with the love of vampires, only making minor changes to add to her world. no twinkling in the sunlight here.

Negatives

While I was excited to see the references to the first book, I was a little disappointed by Rayna's portrayal in this book. I loved Rayne, but in this book, she came off as disconnected and kind of a snob. There were some points where I saw her drive through, but by then I was already disappointed.

It's possible this was intentional. In real life, some people are just shy with new people, myself included. But after getting so close to her in l Accidently Summoned a Demon Boyfriend, I was expecting more.

Recommendation

If you like Romantasy with a strong female lead and a little comedy, you will love this book. It's great to see representation in the game. This book is a solid 4 stars in my list.

The Ego System The Awakening by Rene Zografos

I'll never look at a steak the same way again. René Zografos' The Ego System: The Awakening , is a compelling and urgent call to action that discusses the devastating impact of the meat industry on the planet. The author provides many facts, case studies, and other references to prove their point. As someone who is already practicing no-meat days to live sustainably, I thought this would be a light read. I was wrong. Zografos provides eye-opening insights into the hidden suffering of animals and the political inaction that allows these practices to continue. It definitely has me considering a fully vegan lifestyle. Trigger warning: René Zografos provides explicit descriptions of their research into animal cruelty cases. The Positives The book is filled with compelling anecdotes and case studies that illustrate the real-world consequences of our dietary choices. The argument is clear and persuasive. There is an emotional appeal that really triggers the desire ...

Mate Hunt Series by Lola Glass

While most paranormal series often fall into the same predictable formula, each Mate Hunt story somehow stands out on their own. I have a few theories on how Lola Glass was able to pull this off. Dive into a world where the supernatural isn't just a backdrop, but an integral and enthralling part of the story, setting the series apart from the rest. Lola Glass's Mate Hunt series is a captivating and imaginative dive into the realm of fantasy, romance, and self-discovery.

Glass weaves together romance, humor, and adventure in a way that keeps readers hooked while also fostering a sense of representation and inclusivity. Unique Story We are introduced to the concept of the Mate Hunt. In this series, when a Werewolf looks at his fated mate, he turns and is stuck in wolf form until hi...

Muse: The Magnetism of Women Who Stop Abandoning Themselves by Dr Amanda Hanson

Dr. Amanda Hanson's Muse: The Magnetism of Women Who Stop Abandoning Themselves is supposed to be a transformative and inspiring book that encourages women to reclaim their true selves and embrace their inherent power. Unfortunately, that does not line up with the book I just read. The book does dive into the historical and societal structures that have kept women confined to roles defined by patriarchal norms. Dr. Hanson challenges these norms and offers practical rituals and practices to help women reconnect with their inner Muse and build authentic and fulfilling lives. Where I would have really dissected how to overcome the limitations the patriarchy has placed on women and how to combat it for future women, Dr. Hanson goes on tangents about not putting poisons in our body and how Western medicine was created by men, therefore it's harmful to women. I understand her sentiment that "our bodies know best". However, from personal experience, that is not always the...
