It's the I can fix him mentality, but I suppose in a lot more tangible, I can make him stop killing people for me.

You really caught me off guard there.

It's got to be Court of the Vampire Queen.

It's one that I'm a little bit embarrassed to say that I love because I would say it's about a 400-page book and maybe 350 is just smart.

So I would never tell my parents about it, but it was a good read.

You know what?

I read that book and I hard agree with you.

Yeah, so Vow of Eternal Night is a Beauty and the Beast retelling set in the late 1700s about Clara, who is the daughter of a provincial mayor, who is forcibly engaged to the vampire prince of her realm.

And so sensing that she's not quite on board with the whole forced engagement thing, the vampire prince, Raleigh, gives her an ultimatum, and that is to cure him of his vampirism before the year is out or become his bride for eternity.

It's a must-have.

Where did this book come from?

So it was a conversation I had with my sister years ago now.

We were both really on the lookout for a vampire book that had a particular vibe, and that's the same vibe as, like,

the 2004 Van Helsing movie, but also traditional like Dracula and Camilla.

And we've always kept an eye out for these sorts of books, but we've never been able to find a vampire romance with these vibes.

So vampire romances are always typically set in the modern day.

They're more paranormal.

And things that are set in the old days, like traditional vampire vibes, tend to be horror.

And so

We had this conversation once.
