What to expect
Discover Thirsty by Lucy Lehane, a vampire romance – with bite! Perfect for fans of My Roommate is a Vampire and Boyfriend Material, this queer paranormal romcom is a rollicking, highly entertaining read of enemies-to-lovers, chaotic supernatural friend groups and scorching chemistry.
Charlie needs to revamp his career. Writing advice columns was hard enough before the whole internet was dying to know how to date the undead – but Charlie’s as human as they come, and he has no idea how to answer the messages flooding his inbox. Messages like My Workplace Slack Is Haunted; Should I Cross Dimensions For a Fling? and How Exactly Do You Smash A . . .
When a chance nocturnal meeting at a local coffee shop sees him reuniting with Lorenzo – a vampire with an axe to grind – Charlie thinks he’s found his ticket to immortal career success. But Lorenzo has a plan of his own: get revenge on Charlie for separating Lorenzo from the love of his life years ago. When Lorenzo draws Charlie into his world of monsters and mayhem, he finds new friends and old souls that span centuries of existence – yet are somehow just as lost as the two of them. But, as Charlie and Lorenzo grow unexpectedly closer, the secrets they dwell under might just crush them.
Can their love survive demons and drama? And which will prove deadlier . . . bloodlust or betrayal?

Thirsty proves that love at first bite is real. An enemies-to-lovers vampire romance that’s equal parts cosy and steamy, Lorenzo is the hunky vampire we all need, and Charlie is lucky enough to be the recipient of his love bites. I give it 5/5 fangs!
