Starcrossed Nocturne by Nadine Theiss swept me away from the very first page. This is everything I love in a paranormal romance and more!
Amara, an 800-year-old vampire, and Gabriel, a human medium, are such an unexpected yet perfect pair. I adored the twist of having the vampire be the heroine and the human be the hero, it felt refreshing and beautifully done. Their connection is instant, but it never feels forced. You can feel the love radiating between them, and Gabriel’s words? Let’s just say they’ll make you fall just as hard as Amara does (and you won’t even blame her for it!).
Amara’s backstory adds so much depth, she’s more than just a vampire; she’s a soul with centuries of pain and longing, and you can’t help but sympathize with her. And the side characters are fantastic! They push the story forward and make the world richer.
The plot twist was Jaw-dropping. I genuinely didn’t see it coming, and I love when a book surprises me like that. And the ending… honestly, it’s the perfect happily-ever-after for a vampire-human romance. My heart was so full!
Some favorite highlights:
“You seem so ethereal, so… timeless. As if you don’t belong here.” (SWOON!)
“So what are you then?”
“I believe the word you would use is ‘vampire.’”(This cracked me up!)
“What about sleeping in coffins?”
“I prefer a soft king size bed.” 😂
If you love paranormal romance, deep emotional connections, witty banter, and a plot that will keep you hooked until the last page, Starcrossed Nocturne is a must-read!

I don't read much paranormal romance, but I was a Twilight-obsessed teen and I currently read plenty of romantasy, so this felt like it would be a good fit. The romance in Starcrossed Nocturne is the best I've read!! And the relationship is so... healthy, which was extremely refreshing. I also enjoyed the fast-paced storyline.
