Thank you to NetGalley, Rachel Killer Croft & Berkley for an ARC of We Love the Nightlife in exchange for an honest review.

Rachel won me over last year with Stone Cold Fox and I was sooooooo excited for We Love the Nightlife, especially with the vampire twist!! Dare I say that this was even better than Stone Cold Fox?? Yes, yes, I do!

Nicola (a rather old vampire) and Amber form a friendship over their love of enjoying the nightlife. Nicola makes Amber an offer she can’t refuse, but soon Amber realizes that what Nicola really wanted was to own her & possess her and now, the only thing Amber wants is to get away from Nicola. But, it’s not that easy. Others have tried the same & ended up dead. Now, Nicola is making a last-ditch effort to hold onto Amber by having them open their own nightclub so they can just dance and party all the time. Amber goes along with it, but she’s secretly working on her own plan to be rid of Nicola once & for all. Succeeding is her only option, otherwise, she’s dead.

First, I loved that this was a female driven vampire story! Girl Power!

This book is the very definition of a page-turner. Once you start, you won’t stop until that final page.

Rachel did an amazing job with imagery and atmosphere. I felt like I was living in the late 70s and 80s while reading the earlier timeframe of this story.

I can very easily see the book played out on the big screen! Maybe the movie Gods will take notice.

This was a toxic friendship with a little more at stake (pun intended) than a regular toxic friendship. The cattiness & bitchiness were perfection!

4.5 – Stars (rounded to 5) – I cannot wait to recommend this one to my followers!

I went into this blind after having loved Stone Cold Fox. This was a whole different ball game tho as it’s all about VAMPIRES!

Was I ready for that? No. But did I love it? Absolutely yes! It was delicious and bloody and just what I needed. It was A positive experience all day long.

WE LOVE THE NIGHTLIFE was an absolute masterpiece and to me, it was perfect. The glitz and glamour! The London club scene! The disco! The hilarious banter, snark, and sass! I already can’t wait to reread it.

In my new favorite book we meet Amber, a plucky midwestern girl living in London, who just so happens to be a vampire. If you’re anything like me the breaks might be screeching right about now. I didn’t even finish the first Twilight book. What business do I have reading a grown up vampire book?

All the business in the world, apparently! After loving STONE COLD FOX, I knew Rachel Koller Croft would not lead me astray. This book is perfect for readers that don’t love paranormal elements. The vampire bits are cheeky and fun you don’t have to learn any crazy rules or spend time with silly little things like world building. This one felt like a bit of a genre mashup - a lighter thriller + dramatic women’s fiction with a healthy dose of toxic female friendships and well, vampires.

I loved being in Amber’s head. I want to be her best friend. I want to be her in my next life (if I come back as a party girl). I am just fully obsessed with the woman.

I’m also obsessed with the side characters. Roddy is a doll who I happen to have a major crush. And then there’s Courtenay Cooper. I finished this book over a week ago and I still find myself thinking about Court on a daily basis. Her song choice towards the end made me cackle.

Croft’s writing is whip smart and fresh and she has officially earned herself a spot on my top ten favorite authors list. I will be shocked if this book isn’t my favorite read of 2024! Toot toot!

A million thanks to the publisher for allowing me to be an early reader! I am so incredibly grateful! All opinions are my own.

Sexy, glamorous, enchanting, and all around exciting, Croft has transported her readers back to Disco and the 80s, except with vampires of course. This book is exhilarating and will have its readers devouring every morsel it brings to them. It’s a 400 paged book and I read it in a day that should show you how good it was. This book got me out of my reading slump in the BEST way!

Creatures of the night or of the nightlife in this case. After spending the last 50 years with Nicola, Amber wants to leave. Nicola has lied and betrayed her and being a vampire isn’t everything she thought it would be. Only issue is, if she tries to leave, Nicola will surely kill her.

This book is absolutely scrumptious, Croft has crafted these tantalizing vampires that the reader can’t help but obsess over. Also, she creates the perfect ambiance of disco nightlife, I even listened to my 80s hits playlist while reading and it made it all the more fun!

This is going to be a whip smart, unputdownable, read for the ages. Everyone is going to obsess over the nostalgia of the 80s and the alluring sexy creatures of the night that we all obsess over. Trust me when I say you aren’t gonna want to miss this one because I am absolutely obsessed. Easily her best book yet!
