REVIEW:MY BOYFRIEND IS A VAMPIRE by Eva Knight aka Helena Hunting is a contemporary, new adult, stand alone paranormal, romance story line focusing on three hundred year old vampire Godric Hawthorn, and twenty-two year old, med student Hazey ‘Hazy’ Florence.

Told from dual first person perspective (Hazy and Godric) MY BOYFRIEND IS A VAMPIRE follows the building romance and relationship between our story line couple. Godric Hawthorn and his brothers Laz and Hunter are vampires who have renovated and refurbished the ‘haunted mansion’ on campus but Godric never expected to come face to face with his future in the guise of human female, twenty-two year old Hazy Florence. Hazy and Godric are both pre-med students, lab partners and eventual lovers but Hazy’s past refuses to let go, threatening the status quo of vampires living amongst the human population. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Hazy and Godric, and the potential fall-out as Hazy’s former boyfriend is determined to prove there is something different about Godric and his brothers.

The world building focuses on college life/dorm life. Hazy lives with her best friends Satya and Alyssa, while Godric lives with his brothers Hunter and Laz but as Godric and Hazy’s relationship becomes something more, the ex-boyfriend is determined to prove there is more to Godric than anyone could have ever imagined.

The relationship between Hazy and Godric is one of immediate attraction but Godric is a vampire, and is hoping to keep his preternatural abilities behind closed doors Hazy will witness something she should not see, and her life is in peril unless the man that she loves is willing to reveal the truth. Hazy will quickly learn that life with a vampire is more than she could have ever imagined, including the love of a man who has lived for hundreds of years. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate , without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are introduced to Hazy’s roomates and friends Satya and Alyssa: Hazy’s Ex boyfriend Blaine; Godric’s Brothers Hunter, and Laz, as well as Hazy’s parents and four over protective brothers. I am hoping the author has plans for Hunter and Laz.

MY BOYFRIEND IS A VAMPIRE is a slow building but cute and charming read akin to another popular teen-vampire romance series. The comparisons and similarities are numerous including a direct reference and Halloween party that reveals a humorous side to the vampires. The premise is entertaining and easy to read; the romance is seductive; the characters are fun, sassy and lively. I did struggle with the some of the language including the oft-used ‘boned’ when referencing $ex -the story felt dumbed-down for a younger audience.
