Description

Ari Haywood has seen a lot of change in her 172 years, including the recent acceptance of vampires by humans. Sure, it’s nice she no longer has to hide in the shadows, but she’s also desperately broke. As her friends bemoan the disastrous dating scene (now full of cosplayers and tourists) Ari realises she can crush both problems with her genius idea for a vampire-only dating app. She even has a catchy name: Only Fangs. How hard could it be?

Very, it turns out.

She can’t even find a vampire with the requisite skills to help her code it. Until she meets Brody Jackson. He’s intelligent, qualified, and most importantly cheap. Unfortunately he’s also a living, breathing human with the personality of a golden-retriever puppy. The fact that he’s also kinda cute is irrelevant because Ari doesn’t date. Ever.

Brody always looks on the bright side. Except that if he’s honest, his dating decisions have been disastrous and he’d really rather not make another epic dating error… like, for instance, falling for his hot, vampire boss.


TROPES

✤ Age Gap. She’s older (like 143 years older)

✤ Office Romance. Kinda… Ari can’t actually afford an office

✤ Vampires. But less slayer, more sexy. Blood sucking is strictly a bedroom activity

✤ Gothic Country Mansion. And yes, there are secret tunnels

✤ Hidden Identity. Because why wouldn’t you try to pass off a human as a vampire to the High Council 👀

Ari Haywood has seen a lot of change in her 172 years, including the recent acceptance of vampires by humans. Sure, it’s nice she no longer has to hide in the shadows, but she’s also desperately...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 4.5 Stars for Only Fangs! 🧛‍♀️🩸

This was SO witty and fun! Only Fangs ended up being exactly the spooky little palate cleanser I needed going into some of the heavier reads I’ve had lately.

One of my favorite things about this book was how well it blended classic vampire lore with modern pop culture and new-age humor. It felt fresh, quirky, and self-aware while still giving me all those vampire vibes I came for.

It was just such an easy, entertaining read that didn’t take itself too seriously, and sometimes that is EXACTLY what I need between books that emotionally destroy me. 😂

I’m definitely invested now and cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment! 🧛‍♀️📚✨

4.5/5 ⭐️ 1.5 🌶️

This was one of my best reads of the year, it was so fun and engaging and honestly I have nothing bad to say about the writing or plot. The vampire politics added such nice stakes later in the book so it wasn't just a low stakes rom com, which in my opinion made it much more interesting and added plenty of drama.

The cover however I have to admit is a bit meh, it gives vampire meets human in a dating app(which isn't the plot) and I don't love the charcters art but you have to admit the cover is enough to make you look closer so really it's fine, I'm just picky.

Soo excited for book 2, can't waitt.

I loved the concept of this so much, it was done so well and it’s such a cute vampire romance book. I liked learning about the lore and the rules the vampires have to follow and how they get around certain ones.

I also loved the dynamic between Ari and Brody, they fit together so well and are perfect for each other, everyone can see it, especially Ari’s friends and Brodys friend Matt.

It was interesting to see what actually goes into building the app. Seeing everything they had to do just to get started gave me a whole new perspective on the process and how it all works.

I really loved this book, it’s such a cute romance but also had some suspenseful scenes too, and of course I love vampire stuff so that was a major plus, I’m so excited for the next book!

A really good Vampire romance that was surprisingly heavy on the plot. Fans of the Sookie Stackhouse series would enjoy this book. A bit of a slow burn with lots of longing, Ari and Brody have tons of chemistry. There’s a lot of subplots beyond their relationship and the making of the dating app. There was a lot about Vampire politics and culture that I found very interesting.
The ending really has me pumped up for the next installment, as well! Great for a Halloween read.
