Antagonist's Reviews > The Honey-blood Beauty & Her Vampire, Vol. 1

"This is a story in which I will love you forever and always.... until I kill you"

In world where vampires and humans co-exist, Kagari Tojyo has rare extra yummy blood call "honey blood". Ryotaro is her hot and sadistic bodyguard who happens to also be a vampire himself. You get to watch Kagari try to live a "normal life" while not having one at all.

I really wanted to like this book, especially since I am trash for this kind of stuff, but it completely fell short in so many aspects. The characters were badly introduced which makes it fairly hard to care or like them. They just say a lot without actually saying anything at all? I learned so little about them, yet was suppose to be invested in what was happening to them? Also if they've been with each other for so long, how do they know so little about each other?

Like I mentioned before, I am trash and I can usually overlook a lot if the romance is good, but the romance in this made no sense. None of the interactions made me feel anything because they felt completely out of know where. Also the universe they're in doesn't really make sense to me and I have so many questions. It honestly feels like I am missing a chunk of the story, and even had to check what volume I was reading.

I am sure the rest of the series will answer more questions and go more into depth about their history, but there wasn't enough in this book specifically to make me want to continue. The art was nice and I enjoy the master kink being gender-switched like this, but that's all the positive I have to say.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this arc in exchange for an honest review.
