This book was IT!! It was well written, and the character development was just chef’s kiss 💋. And the banter? Just yeah. I have no words!!

Cassie Greenberg is a broke Chicago artist who stumbles upon an unrealistically cheap apartment listing. Naturally, she’s suspicious (because $200 a month in Chicago?? That’s witchcraft), but desperate times call for weird Craigslist decisions. Enter Frederick J. Fitzwilliam, her absurdly polite, oddly old-fashioned, and painfully attractive new roommate. Spoiler alert: He’s a vampire. But not just any vampire—a gentleman vampire with impeccable style, swoon-worthy manners, and a slight tendency to accidentally ghost (literally) when he’s flustered. Little does she know, her new roomie is a full-fledged vampire who writes her adorable notes (with actual quills) and struggles to navigate modern life. Chaos, romance, and hilarious misunderstandings ensue.

Best Moments:

• Cassie realizing she’s basically living in a Regency-era Dracula fanfic but rolling with it.
• Frederick’s painfully formal, Mr. Darcy-esque text messages. (Sir, this is a text, not a 19th-century courtship letter.)
• The slow-burn romance that had me kicking my feet like a schoolgirl in love.

Worst Moments:

• The anxiety of waiting for Cassie to realize she’s living with an actual vampire.
• The fact that the book ended, and I now have an empty void in my heart.
• Realizing that no matter how hard I manifest, no vampire landlord is going to rent me a $200 room in Chicago.

Favorite Quotes:

• "If this person turned out to be an axe murderer or a libertarian or some other awful thing, a month-to-month lease would let me leave quickly with no strings attached."
• "When I think about Cassie never returning to me it makes me sad. Waking up in the evening isn’t exciting anymore now that I know I won’t be seeing her face."

Overall Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Perfection. No notes.)

Final Thoughts:
I love how Frederick was described—his style, his elegance, his entire vibe—just chef’s kiss. If brooding, well-dressed vampires who write you adorable, old-timey letters are your thing, this book is for you. It’s funny, it’s romantic, it’s everything I never knew I needed.

Now, where do I find a Frederick (A girl)  of my own? Asking for a friend. (The friend is me.)
