Bookseller recommendation

“Fun, spooky romp! Our heroine, Lily Bains, finds herself a 'baby vampire' after a night of one too many margaritas. She must learn quickly to quench her newfound thirst, navigate dating her maker, manage decades old vampire politics and accept her current plus-size body for the rest of eternity. While the romance is steamy and fun, this is really a story of body acceptance. Though she has tried every diet under the sun, Lily must learn to love herself night after night. I really enjoyed the narrator's performance and Duke's dialogue and modern voice.”

Summary
About the author
About the narrator

Twenty-five-year-old Lily Baines is used to waking up hungover, overweight, and underemployed. Waking up with fangs? Not so much. But when a little light necking has more serious consequences than she ever imagined, Lily is determined to get to the bottom of it or die (again) trying.

Tristan hadn't meant to turn Lily—it's against vampire law—but now that she's here, they need to team up to save both their hides. They strike an uneasy truce, fending off other vampires, Lily's work-rival-turned-slayer, and her mother's tone-deaf romance and fitness advice...all while Lily faces down her insecurities about the fact that she lives in a diet-obsessed world with a body that will never age, never die, and never change.

Falling for her maddeningly gorgeous sire? Easy. Surviving an ancient vampire Master determined to see her twice-dead? Piece of cake. But can Lily ever truly learn to love the woman she'll be forevermore?

This book explores negative body image (on the path to body positivity) with references to unhealthy dieting. It may be triggering for some. To anyone who has ever thought the size or shape of their body made them somehow less. You are so much more!
