"Good evening faeries," Inigo said. "My name is not Inigo Montoya but Inigo Rafael Cavendish Fitzwilliam McIntosh and my father isn't the issue, but prepare to die anyway."

Any book that references "Princess Bride" = Instant bonus points.

This book is SO much fun. I really like Barbara Elsborg's style- quirky stories with lots of character development, heat, and excitement. This isn't your typical vampire book. First of all, it leans a bit towards the fantasy realm with the involvement of fae and other dimensions. It also isn't an "alpha male" story, with a growly possessive vampire. It is more.. geek-chic vampire? Like the kind of vampire a geek-lover like me I would want to be friends with or date.

My favorite part of this book was the dialogue. It had me laughing out loud at times, which was awkward because I was reading this book on a crowded train and I seemed a little insane to my fellow passengers. I loved the banter back and forth between the two MCs. Inigo was fabulous in every scene and I adored his interactions with everyone.

"I want to be a ten," Inigo blurted.
"You are a ten."
"I want to be an eleven really."

My biggest hangup with this book was the plot seemed a little chaotic. I'm not sure if it because I hadn't read the prequel book Jumping in Puddles (though this book is billed as a stand-alone), but I got a little lost with all of the family members and their dynamics. However, I enjoyed this book so much that it is easily 4-stars for me.
