Editorial Review For BLOOD: THE SANGUINE PRINCE
This vampire tale isn’t about brooding in castles or sparkling in sunlight. The undead here juggle tennis matches, drum circles, and awkward hookups while trying not to drain every hot guy in Dallas. Our immortal narrator navigates messy relationships, chaotic pool parties, and the occasional run-in with cops—all while debating whether love is worth the hassle when everyone ends up dead anyway.
The book’s strength? It doesn’t take itself seriously. The writing leans into dark humor, with absurd scenarios (stoned swans, haunted house hookups) balancing the protagonist’s existential angst. The pacing zips along like a vampire fleeing a crime scene, and the voice—sarcastic, self-aware, and unapologetically messy—keeps things entertaining.
If you’re tired of moody vampire romances, this flips the script. It’s urban fantasy with a grungy, early-2000s vibe, blending horror-lite with queer themes and a side of Texas chaos. Think American Psycho if Patrick Bateman had fangs and a thing for lacrosse players.
Readers who like flawed antiheroes, chaotic energy, and stories that mix bloodsucking with dark comedy will devour this. Just don’t expect moral lessons or tidy endings—this is a wild ride, not a sermon.
Verdict: A messy, raunchy good time. Perfect for anyone who’s ever wondered what vampires do between feedings (spoiler: they make terrible life choices).
