Moonhaven Cove #1
Wanted: Vampire's Assistant
She's scrappy and pure sunshine.
He's a 1,000 year old vampire.
Together they're magic.
Ever had life kick you in the teeth after it shoved you down the stairs?
Yeah, that’s how my day was heading.
And then I saw an ad in the paper that changed my life—Wanted: Vampire’s Assistant. Qualifications must include: loyalty, sturdiness, flexibility, dependability, fearlessness, intelligence, and please no applicants that are prone to temper or fits of terror.
Normally, I’d laugh at the absurd ad, but I emailed the prankster—Draven Leto, instead. People need jobs, Mr. Leto. Prank ads are not appreciated.
I wasn’t expecting to get a reply.
And I certainly wasn’t expecting for the ad to be invisible to everyone else on my floor.
Then a self-proclaimed vampire with a voice that could melt honey called and invited me to interview for the position.
And I accepted.
Like I said, life changing.

The writing is super clumsy in this one. It’s like the author has no idea how to progress relationships.
Everything is instant: insta-friendship, insta-lust, insta-problem solving.
The pacing is all off, and the author skips over things she needs to develop. Either, because she’s too lazy, or because she has no idea how to progress the plot.
The two main leads started out with the potential to have great chemistry but the whole thing was ruined by the terrible writing.
I try not to judge books by their covers. But this time the cover matches the contents.

Content:
Language: none that I recall.
Violence: mild peril. Bombs go off, shootings happen, there is fighting.
sexual: mild. some kissing, some snuggling. there is one instance of nudity in a non-sexual context.
When I first started this book I was pleasantly enjoying the fun little cozy-ness of the journey. It had an interesting premise, a little mystery surrounding the heroine, and an introduction to supernatural communities in an urban setting.
But the further I read the more I just asked, 'what is the point of the story?' There was little to no plot happening here. It's literally the main character meeting people and making friends immediately, and working for her boss that we all know she'll end up with. There is a slight side plot of who is trying to harm her and her vampire boss, but it was so haphazardly written in, it felt like a random tension device more than anything.
So, here's the thing. This story has great potential to be a fun urban fantasy series. Honestly, I was quite attached by the end to some of the characters that were introduced that it's probable I'll keep reading the series despite MAJOR issues with the writing itself. And the humor was fantastic. There were scenes I was laughing aloud at, and I don't do that too often.
But it is tragic. Just tragic, how poorly this book was written regarding transitions, major plot, and the romance. It just needed a loving line edit, a revision or two, and for the love of pete, some bridging sentences between paragraphs so I don't feel whiplash going from one scene to another. Nobody likes it when a book is onlyexposition, but it does need some! The flow kept getting interrupted by poor writing and it irritated me.
The romance and friendships are instantaneous, with little if any conflict at all, and anyone who has lived, ya know, life, knows things don't come that easily. Conflict is the meat of stories, and the character builder of life. The most conflict our heroine saw was trying to get the star elf not to use her shower. (which was both really weird and kinda hilarious when you got to know him).
I have never in my life been so tempted to contact an author and offer a free edit. The potential was there and it killed me to see this published in this raw form when it could have been great. I truly hope the author gets better with each series as she learns, and I'll look forward to seeing if there is improvement when the next book comes out.

Her friends are all dudes 🚩
This book has untapped potential. It’s disappointing that there really isn’t a plot - other than the broadest of Disney-fied Cinderella tropes. Mia is very poor and hardworking. Then, out of nowhere, a handsome billionaire vampire plucks her out of poverty and the rest of the book is a smorgasbord of food descriptions and non-stop partying. Every day is a pool party. Every night is a slumber party. Before during and after the parties, Mia eats and eats and eats and eats and eats. Everything she eats is the best thing she has ever eaten. Everywhere she goes is the best place she’s ever gone. Everything she does is the best thing she’s ever done. Every person she meets is her best-friend. And it just left me wondering: what’s the point?

I’m angry at myself for not DNF’ing this book.
I wanted to like it, I really did.
The premise sounded interesting and I was really hoping for a well rounded rom-com.
Sadly, this book felt more like I was reading a ‘self insert’ story written by a young teenage girl in her paranormal/fantasy romance phase.
Which, no judgement, we’ve all been there. But sometimes some stories should just stay on Wattpad and Dreame y’know 😅
I had my first ‘I should DNF this book’ moment at 9% in but tried to push through the inconsistencies in the writing.
By 25% in I was having such a hard time believing in anything I read and about half way through I started questioning my life choices.
The FMC is supposed to be a personal assistant and yet there’s barely any content of her actually doing her job. I’m pretty sure in the entire book, her job and workload is spoken of 4 times.
You will, however, get at least one paragraph in every chapter describing a meal or drink FMC is consuming and if she’s not consuming something then she’s out and about NOT working.
Of course every time FMC leaves the house she’s in a life threatening situation where MMC just happens to show up and everyone just happens to know how to solve everything or save the day.
Note: Instantaneous activity seems to be a running theme in this book. Everyone is immediately attracted to FMC and becomes her BFF within three seconds flat. Every problem is met with an instant solution. Every strange occurrence has an immediate explanation and acceptance.
Want some examples? How about when Elf guy is just there, naked in her shower and wont leave, but its fine after all of 2 sentences even though he’s a complete stranger in FMCs private bathroom? Then they become besties and watch a movie together in the span of 5 minutes.
Or when the tiger shows up (which is black with white stripes, not to be confused with a white with black striped tiger) on the beach (because why TF not) they are concerned for all of .2 of a second before they get an explanation (from MMC who just shows up outta nowhere) and then they are cool with the tiger?ITSAFRIGGENTIGER!
No, wait, it’s a special tiger familiar that is magically bonded to FMC because of course she’s suddenly not a human, she’s a magical girl.
I should’ve stopped after that, but did I? Of course not 😅
FMC is supposedly 27 years of age and yet her character behaves like a high school aged girl.
Her inner monologue and dialogue is also that of a high school aged girl. It was painful to endure.
‘Le Sigh’ was used twice in one chapter as her inner monologue.
TWICE.
SHE IS 27 YEARS OLD FOLKS.
Did I stop after that? You bet your left booty cheek I didn’t.
Nope, I forced myself to read all 295 pages of this book. Pushed myself to endure every single moment of horrible storytelling, insufferable character development and agonising dialogue.
Hell, I even read the ‘sneak peek’ of book 2 at the end of the book.
Why? I honestly have no idea. You could hold me at gun point and I still wouldn’t be able to tell you why I did this to myself.
Maybe because I’m a closet masochist.

This was a fun paranormal book with likable characters that I wanted to get to know more about as the story grew. I confess that Mia was often over the top with her delight at places and food but she seemed to calm down as the story progressed. I'm hoping that this is a series that will allow Rhys and Dice to have their own story as well as Mes and I'm hoping Virion will make more appearances.

This was a cute, quick read. There were parts I really enjoyed and parts that had me rolling my eyes a bit. It's definitely supposed to be light and funny, kind of like a fluff read, which is what I needed right now. I can see myself reading more of this series.
There were some editing errors that took away from the story but I still enjoyed it.

Gentleman Vampire
OMG, have you ever read a cozy mystery? Yea, they’re so sweet and clean and pure they make you want to gag? I usually don’t care for them, but guess what folks, I found a cozy vampire story and it was so fun!
Mia Durran had been on her own since she was sixteen and life had not been a bed of roses, but she worked hard for everything she has and went to business school and just the right time Mia saw an ad in the paper for a Vampire’s Assistant. Mia was so poor at the moment and she was actually hungry and it annoyed her that someone had taken up valuable want ad space for jobs, so she answered it and complained about his joke ad. The Mr. Draven Leto assured her that only qualified candidates could see the ad, so he asked her to show a neighbor and indeed only she could see the ad.
Mia did qualify for the job and while there discovered that one of the reasons that she qualified was that she was a supernatural being herself, an empath and possibly something more. The something more is some kind of weather controlling magic user and she even has a tiger familiar.
I don’t want to give it away because it’s cute and fun except for the part where someone keeps trying to kill them. (Oh, yea… that.) There will be a clean romance involved with absolutely none of the spicy stuff at all, this vampire is an old world gentleman vampire, thankyouverymuch. This was cute though, I really did like it for an easy read.

July 9, 2025I wanted a cosy paranormal urban fantasy romance like K.M. Shea, and this one was free on my audio subscription, so I took a chance.
It was charming. A magic town on the coast in the PNW, found family vibes, and nice mix of action and romance. Some of the writing felt clunky to listen to, but I probably wouldn’t have noticed it reading a physical copy. I did have questions about the plot at the end, although it wasn’t substantially enough to dim my enjoyment.
I’m continuing the series because I’m very invested in 2 of the side characters whose stories we get next!
Content: light kissing; platonic kissing between a male and female best friend who are not romantically involved (because he’s a clingy elf who is affectionate)… felt kinda weird; magical creatures (familiar, vampires, elves, gargoyles, etc); accidental case of male nudity scene—no romantic or detailed

2.5 Starts off well enough but needs a lot of edits to tighten it up. Much too long of nothing happening. Some ‘drama’ that doesn’t lead to plot or character development so it’s just fluff. Not much world building but just introducing characters for little reason than to add them to series later. Meh. Some red herrings that I think doesn’t get resolved because the author lost steam over what to do with them.

The storyline had potential, but just fell really, really flat

Sooo that’s my first bad book of the year!
I think I might have read a children’s book by accident because even though the FMC is supposed to be an adult, she acts, talks and thinks like a 10yo.

The two stars are solely for the tiger!
The story started well enough and I like the quotes about Empaths being socially drained, feeling deeply and sensing other people's emotions. But it all went downhill from there. I am not invested in the story. In fact, I was, frankly, bored at around the halfway point. Mesmer is a redeeming quality and I loved Zion the tiger, but the rest of the story fell flat for me. I was not emotionally invested in the characters at all because the story felt surface level even though there were brief mentions of grief and a troublesome childhood/loss of loved ones.
All in all, the book read like it was written by a teenager. The story felt innocent, almost naive. For everyone that is looking for a lighthearted fluffy fantasy romance in pursuit of escapism, this is the book for you. However, I am not one of those people and I am actually disappointed by how flat this story was.
And RHYS. Ugh, he is pretty overbearing and keeps kissing Mia on the friggin mouth because he is "just an elf and they are affectionate blah" even though she REPEATEDLY told him not to do that. That is a major red flag and it is never adressed or resolved. Actually, it is seen as a funny quirk and a side effect of being an elf. No. Just no. That is illegal and no real friend crosses boundaries like that. Not that a stranger should, but this is especially dire.
And that ancient vampire guy that is still so immature and patiarchal even after 1000 years of being on this earth that he is jealous and threatens a doctor that is literally only doing his job?? I have no words.
Plus, instead of teaching Mia how to protect herself from HIS enemies, she is locked up in that prison mansion of his and "protected" by the men like it is still medieval times. She has no agency and spends her time eating food, gushing about her tiger, having fun with her bodyguard or creepy "best" friend. The rest of the time, she cheers on that ancient dude and lusts after him. She has no purpose, no life outside her job (that is never to be mentioned again) and her entire identity is her boyfriend. No. There is a great imbalance of power (him being ancient and attracted to a literal woman in her 20s and, on top of that, he is her boss ffs) that feels icky, but is never addressed.
Dice is my favorite character. I don't know whether that's because she doesn't buy into patriarchal BS or because the rest of the characters are so below mediocre.
I liked the "PJ's to work on Friday's" though.
This book could have been so great. Sigh.

I read this book following another that was heavy on the emotions and wanted to find something happy and easy to read to make myself feel better. This book was perfect for that! Whimsical, light, charming and well-put together. My only issue was the continuous non-consensual boundary breaking by a certain character and the fact that it was just brushed off a considered funny because “that’s who they are!” - that kinda weirded me out. The main character is in her late twenties and acts quite childishly at times, but it does make sense with her past. That, paired with the light tone of the book, sometimes made the book feel a little implausible and childish, but when you need that sort of storyline as I did, it works just perfectly :)

This is a cute and funny urban fantasy about a girl who finds out she is actually a supernatural and gets hired as the assistant for a very handsome vampire (you can see where that's going to go). The romance was light and adorable. This is not a very intense book and perfect if you are looking for a light and fluffy read.

Cozy, clean paranormal romance. The world building and relationships fell a little flat to me, but the idea behind it was great.

Fun Read
This was such a delight to read, I've been in a bit of a slump and this was exactly what I needed, a light and fun book. The characters are very likable and entertaining. Are there a few errors, yes but nothing that is frequent or big. I'm looking forward to the rest of the series!

holy hell in a hand basket.
I enjoyed Mia and thought she was funny and intense. I was sad about her past but it just made her a better person in my opinion. The story was really romantic and we never did get the scoop on their bond. I was bummed about that.

Loved the Story
Not real big on the narrator, she sounds too much like a child. I absolutely loved the story. It was quick and cute and refreshing. I may have to read the rest of the books in the series though.

Overall not too bad. There were some moments that genuinely made me cringe and pull faces, and sometimes I forgot that the FMC was in her late 20s and not 18 by how she spoke. But enjoyable and a very easy read

I think this book had potential. I loved the idea of the ad only specials could see! My favorite character and one I want to know more about wasn’t the main character. It was difficult for me to connect to these two. They were very surface. Someone else said everything was insta- love, friendships, etc. I agree! Everything was almost too easy!

Paranormal perfect
I loved this book for its paranormals and part human. It was funny, serious, and had a love story. The story line was so interesting and I wanted to know what would happen in the end that I couldn't put it down.

No true world building or character development.

DNF because the MC is delusional. She complained that she's had 23 jobs and has had terrible luck at keeping them. She uses her latest firing as an example of terrible luck. It's not. Instead of being an adult and attempting to get her revenge on a man who sexually assaulted her at her job in legal ways, she reacted like a toddler and punched him in the face. In front of all his friends, all her co-workers, and her boss. Her being fired is getting off lightly.
The premise looks interesting, but life is too short to force myself to read

Big oof. DNF after a few chapters… try as I might,
I couldn’t get past the immaturity of the narration. I mean, she was freaking out over having her own desk and… office supplies?, and she kept saying shit like “holy cheese balls!” (Not a quote, I’m paraphrasing here.) Her character just read like a thirteen year old and I couldn’t get over it.

This book had so much potential and it started out so strong….
About 15% in I started struggling. It reads like a wattpad story at 53% I didn’t see any reason to even try to keep reading. It was clunky, instant everything, the dialogue was well for lack of a better term a mess. It could have been so much more than it was.

This was a really nice book and i liked the romance. the ending seemed kinda rushed to me but other than that it was great! wish there were more of draven’s characters.

I really did love this book. It was ADORABLE! I want the rest of the series right now. Mia is a great heroine, I really loved her. I liked Mes and Draven too. I can't wait for Mes's love story. Virion is interesting too and I hope that we see more of him. Rhys and Dice (whose relationship I am assuming is going to be Book 2's focus) is cute. I enjoyed Rhys's character and am interested to learn more about him. I also want to know what Dice's demon is. That book will be interesting. It will also feature Mia and Draven and I can't wait to learn more about their relationship and Mia's growing understanding of her power.
Part of me also wants Mountblanc's story as well as Tylen and Reece's story. Mountblanc seemed like a great guy and he was so kind to Mia. I want him to be happy. I also want Tylen to not be in pain. I hate that for him because he sounds like such a teddy bear.
I laughed for the whole book because Mia was so funny. I loved her personality. Such a truly interesting character with a huge heart! Draven is so kind and sweet. I really like that the author chose to bust the normal ideal of vampirism with him. He seemed like a much more realistic version of what a immortal vampire would be like. I liked all of the paranormal explanations in this book really. Everything seemed more relatable to normal humans which is good. It made the book seem more real and laid back and less like it was so out of our realm of possibility! Many paranormal books seem just unfathomable to us as readers and they feel so far removed from reality. This book made the paranormals way more relatable, which I appreciate. This author has quality writing, for sure!
Last - I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. I would 100% recommend this book, series, and author. I liked the more conversational way that the author wrote this book in. It made it easy to understand and read. Paranormal books can sometimes be lengthy or drawn out but this one had just the right amount of information and intrigue. Very well written!
