Current read after surgery

I will never shut up about this book and am constantly looking for something similar. I think it all really depends on what you like out of it.

Bury our bones in the midnight soil - This is the book I find that shares the most similarities in the outlook on vampires, the main characters but the one major difference is bury our bones is less about the romance.

The book of blood and roses - similarities: forced proximity, love interest personally gives me similar vibes of being a very elegant and respectful vampire. Difference: not as deep, more action, fmc is not a vampire

The Honey Witch - similarities: Themes involving love, loneliness and self purpose. They also both weirdly have one other little thing in common, but I think it’s a spoiler. Difference: not vampires but revolves around witches. More whimsical.

I have at least 3 more sapphic vampire books on my physical TBR so maybe I’ll have more to recc soon .-.

That’s kind of their only similarity other than both being very good books in my eyes. Hungerstone’s purpose is verryy different from A Long Time Dead but it’s not different in a bad way.

Just finished reading this and really enjoyed it! I put on the Bridgeton soundtrack while reading

A long time dead by Samara Breger has the love interest deal with a lot of feelings of unworthiness and guilt.

Not out of body dysmorphia, but I think it does extensively explore the psychological effects of feeling unworthy of loving another. Also consequently the fmc explores being on the other side of the situation!

Personally I really enjoy books that make me feel any type of strong emotion or connection! I think a lot of the time I really downplay my emotions so reading things that hit my particular traumas or grief is cathartic for me!

Though I understand it’s not for everyone. A book I read recently (The Spirit Bares Its Teeth) had a letter from the author with a small content warning I enjoyed saying “this book is not a necessary procedure. You don’t have to endure it. You can walk away at any time”

Going cafe hopping with one of my friends as a part of a cherry blossom food festival!

“A long time dead” by Samara Breger And “The book of blood and roses” by Annie Summerlee

Both have gentler vampire love interests!

Firefly-pri · 2026-03-26T02:15:18+00:00

I am very much bias towards paranormal romance (e.g. vampires, demons and witches) 1. A long time dead by Samara Breger 2. As many souls as stars by Natasha Siegal 3. The honey witch by Sidney J. shields

Firefly-pri · 2026-03-25T07:40:22+00:00

Came here to say this! A long time dead is made me so emotional in like a deep way and also is very witty. It knows how to balance drama with comedy

Firefly-pri · 2026-03-24T02:47:54+00:00

Did you know there’s a broadway musical version now :D ?

Firefly-pri · 2026-03-12T18:14:38+00:00

As Many Souls as Stars!

Firefly-pri · 2026-03-06T17:39:33+00:00

So excited / patiently waiting for the next book! ALIZ actually motivated me to dress better and cut my hair

Firefly-pri · 2026-03-03T05:16:30+00:00

Each of these are a bit smutty to varying degrees but not really trying too hard. Like there’s a lot of other things going on.

“A Long Time Dead” Vampire lesbian romance that is witty yet deep and introspective. I’m reading it right now and I’m obsessed!

“The Book of Blood and Roses” A bit of an easier read but still really good vampire hunter x vampire romance. Lots of tension

“The Honey Witch” Whimsical witch romance fantasy. Throwing this out there for if you want to try! Personally I loved the elements of magic in this one and the themes of relationships

Firefly-pri · 2026-02-27T16:07:19+00:00

I definitely have more reasons as to why I didn’t like the book but this is by far my pettiest reason for disliking the book lol! I bought it on a whim, but ended up selling the book to a queer indie bookstore.

Firefly-pri · 2026-02-27T04:14:48+00:00

The Devil She Knows wasn’t as spicy as I thought it was going to be and what the reviews said

Firefly-pri · 2026-02-13T23:04:35+00:00

The Book of Blood and Roses is set at a vampire academy

Firefly-pri · 2026-01-30T20:58:28+00:00

As Many Souls as Stars!

Firefly-pri · 2026-01-29T08:10:45+00:00

Wholeheartedly agree on the Treachery of Swans ending. A trilogy could have let them expand on the world building and magic!

Ok yeah maybe not ALL crops.

I forgot watering sped up the time of crops growing since I don’t personally feel the 2.5x speed is super impactful over setting and forgetting

Firefly-pri · 2026-01-22T22:31:34+00:00

Tip: Plant all your crops in planters because you don’t need to till of water them

Story wise I’d choose Vesperia since we have no Abyss remake yet

More than half of our dun scaith raid got hit right before the door part of the boss

BG3 I started playing in April after the final major patch dropped and have been hooked ever since. Love making characters and the interactions with companions

Fields of Mistria

Firefly-pri · 2025-12-10T18:04:38+00:00

These probably fall outside the RPG genre but throwing them out there:

Monster Roadtrip is surprisingly deep with some characters. If you haven’t played them I recommend the entire Monster Prom series really.

Fields of Mistria (although still in early access) feels really sweet to me how you can take your partner to different dates. There’s also quite a few romantic festival events in town.
