Twenty-five-year-old Lily Baines is used to waking up hungover, overweight, and underemployed. Waking up with fangs? Not so much. But when a little light necking has more serious consequences than she ever imagined, Lily is determined to get to the bottom of it or die (again) trying.
Tristan hadn't meant to turn Lily—it's against vampire law—but now that she's here, they need to team up to save both their hides. They strike an uneasy truce, fending off other vampires, Lily's work-rival-turned-slayer, and her mother's tone-deaf romance and fitness advice...all while Lily faces down her insecurities about the fact that she lives in a diet-obsessed world with a body that will never age, never die, and never change.
Falling for her maddeningly gorgeous sire? Easy. Surviving an ancient vampire Master determined to see her twice-dead? Piece of cake. But can Lily ever truly learn to love the woman she'll be forevermore?

Maybe I’m too old..

I do agree some of the slang is a little a excessive. I say ‘obvi’ too, but with Lily it’s a lot. Some of the dialogue does feel a little wooden and doesn’t make the most sense. I feel like the love interest doesn’t have a whole lot of personality. Attractive tragic backstory vampire who’s rigid in his ways and slowly learns to loose control. I wish we delved more into him.
Despite the flaws this story has a lot of heart. I binged it in a day and I can see the world building and a potential of sequels. I’ll definitely pick them up because I’m curious where it goes.
Also the narrator is phenomenal. I loved her in Touch of Darkness series and she brings it to the table here.
Just, Yes

This book will do some things to your heart. If you grabbed this thinking, "Fat girl finds love." and stick to just that, it's fabulous. Very Fred the Vampire Accountant. Which I firmly believe is a literary masterpiece.
The other option, the one that got me, is it could leave you a blubbering mess. My fellow fat girls, there are parts that could hurt, be warned. Skinny girls, take notice, this is what we go through every single day, every single meal, and every single relationship. No joke, no hyperbole.
Some triggers: fat phobia, restrictive dieting, body insecurity, eating judgement, mother imposed restricted caloric intake at a young age, not believing your deserving of happiness, success or love because of your size.
I literally bawled all the way through chapters 11 to 13. I figured it out the second he said it to her. If faced with that devil's choice, I would have let the council kill me rather than be trapped in my body that I hate for eternity. There's no Tristan for most of us, no one to say we're beautiful, and no one to see beyond our bodies.
For most, it will be a fantastic story of a strong, talented, amazing woman living her best life regardless of the circumstances. It will be encouraging to see Lilly fight her demons and allow love in because, at the core, that is what the book is about. If you've made peace with yourself, you will love it. If you haven't or simply can't, like me, just be prepared from the start.
Due to this, the rest of the story, like the, incredibly wealthy, underwear model level, hot guy who's obsessed with her protection and self worth felt like some major pandering. It felt very, " Let people in and good things can happen." blah, blah, blah. That's not realistic and made it so I couldn't suspend my disbelief to enjoy it as much as a normal person would.
I love you and don't want you to feel these feels if you're not ready. I wish someone had told me.
Fat girls, this will make you cry

The idea was great, but the execution was horrible
