First there was a cringey Thanksgiving with a sack full of turkey. Then there was a cringey Christmas alien with a magic mirror, and a magic… you know what. And now, we bring to you: a very cringey Valentine’s Day featuring old timey detective vampires and a sweet stalker with Dexter-like tendencies.
Today Ashley and Liz give our two cents on two holiday themed novellas we may not have picked up if it weren’t for our love of this series: Valentine’s Day With A Vampire by Tabitha Lovelace and Little Lies and Valentines by Lashell Rain.
We’ll give you our star and spice ratings, a basic overview of the plot, and then get into our likes and dislikes, reviews, and whether or not these books are “valentines-y” enough.
And don’t worry… we take you wayyy back to Millennial town with conversation hearts, SNL references, homemade valentine cards, Blink 182, 7th Heaven, and a smash or pass with a sexy deer and a grumpy dragon.
