Thirsty

I was doing SOOO good at not requesting too many ARCs and getting overwhelmed and reading them at the very last minute..and here we are. Here's Lucy Lehane "Thirsty." This book debuts in October 2025.

["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, 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 plans of his to 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?"]

This book was inspired by the TV show "What We Do In The Shadows," and honestly, I see it. The supernatural community, the sense of eternal dread, the queer longing. 

Though, these two did make me cry. A few times. They both have their baggage and their secrets. But they fell into a romance so suddenly that it was so fucking easy to fall from tentative-friendship to lovers. And not just lovers but the kind of romantic relationship that everyone strives for: constant smiles, talking about anything and everything, communication through looks alone. 

And with all of that baggage and secrets, comes accidental outing and third-act break ups and taking sides and me crying while the characters are sobbing and not eating and D: 

This book was fucking fabulous. It wasn't overly spicy. It had a great amount of angst, especially in the beginning. The sheer amount of lore from all different kinds of supernatural groups was fascinating, seeing the "original" facts and the new-look facts.
