Journeys end in lovers meeting but with this tale a whole new world opens up and not everyone will make it out alive.

“The Last Vampire” is Lorena’s second chance after a video threatens her family’s lifestyle sending her to an exclusive academy where she and her new classmates stumble upon a hidden coffin and what’s inside changes her life forever.

This was an interesting read but one that that felt very long despite being close to the average of my reads at around 400 pages. I’m not sure if that is a good or bad thing because at a character standpoint I think there was a benefit to really getting to know some of the characters but others it felt like we were dragging the plot out too long without going far at all.

For characters I really enjoyed Lorna and I felt she did best with her friends and really understanding those dynamics between her childhood best friend and new roommate created an interesting dynamic and that push pull energy that felt very relatable and for me anchored the story. Her relationship with William was interesting and some parts, especially their fights under the guise of literary analysis, were some of my favorites however for the most part it seemed as though they were platonic until the plot needed them to be more and then it was all gas no breaks. That’s not necessarily a bad thing I just didn’t feel as connected to them and their romance as I wish I would have been.

I love the ideas here and the mythology of vampires and relationships with humans and what this great sleep means for the former and there is so much room for more and I really hope they dig into that and make it a solid story. With something so unique as its foundation I would love to see just how far you can take it if you’re brave enough to continue taking those risks.

Lorena enrolled in a boarding school but woke up the last vampire by accident. William tried to revive his species and protect humans at the same time...

Love the pride and prejudice vibes... The characters are great. The dialogue is terrific.. An enjoyable read. Love this retelling of Dracula.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

The last vampire is another love story that will steal your heartbeat. It was like a modern day dracula with enemies-to-lovers vibes. Lorena was the Lucy to his vampire heart as his kiss was the winter to her summer. Their love will be told to hundreds and continue as we read it.

I enjoyed the plot and storyline and found that i couldn't put it down once i dove in. Being a fan of dracula and just vampires , i knew i would enjoy it. It was a different take all together that kept me entertained......who doesn't love a vampire and human love story.

This was deliciously dramatic in all the best ways. Their dynamic crackles with tension, wit, and just the right amount of gothic absurdity. I loved the boarding school setting, the slow-burn unraveling of secrets, and the aching pull between duty and desire. It’s funny, wildly romantic, a little bloody, and completely addictive. Austen would be proud, and maybe just a little horrified.

I thought this book was ridiculous. Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher.

This book was quite fun. I was sucked in on the very first page and was incredibly intrigued where the story was going.

I’m a huge fan of the setting for this book. It captured the mood of both the characters and the story perfectly, and I think it wouldn’t have been nearly as magical in any other setting.

The characters felt very real, which I loved. They came alive on the page, and I found myself connecting to Lorena the most.

This book is cute. I flew through it at a super fast pace, which was a plus and minus at the same time because I didn’t want it to end.

Thank you so much to St. Martin’s Press, Wednesday Books, and NetGalley for an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
