This is a great time for a book that doesn’t take itself seriously and just focuses on being silly & fun. I grabbed this book because it’s the book of the month for the /r/Fantasy Goodreads group, and Bingo is coming up fast and I needed the Bingo square. But I’m very glad I did, because this was delightful.
Karalynn is a book editor, and fairly content with her life editing unremarkable books and watching movies. Until her stepmom convinces her publisher father (and boss) to pick up a book written by a friend of the stepmom’s from pilates. It’s a vampire paranormal romance, and it is terrible. The sort of thing that should only lurk in the darkest depths of Wattpad or AO3.
So Karalynn is more than a little upset to find herself somehow inside the world of Eternal Passion at Sunset, with all its plot holes and cliches. Even worse, she’s taken over the role of the love interest for the himbo King of the Vampires. Luckily the villain is there too, and much more interesting.
So yeah, it’s an isekai story, which I’ve been reading a fair few of lately for whatever reason. The meta-story is plenty predictable as well in its twists and turns, but plenty of fun. And the backdrop of the absurd, incredibly stupid world of Eternal Passion at Sunset is laugh out loud hilarious.
Strongly recommended, if you want something to just relax and enjoy without having to turn your brain on.
