simonlorden 's review for:
Vampires at Sea
by Lindsay Merbaum
I received an ARC through NetGalley and this is my honest review.
A story as chaotic as its cover. (Seriously, what is that cover? It attracted me immediately.) It's about vampires, but also about a married couple gaining a third. Or something.
Rebekah and Hugh have been together for centuries, but on a cruise full of gay orgies, they meet a nonbinary influencer called Heaven, who gets between them. There is some interesting worldbuilding - Rebekah and Hugh are vampires who feed on emotions instead of blood, and I won't spoil what Heaven is, but surely not human.
It's dramatic and comedic at once. The commercialized queer activities are funny in a cringe way. Also there's a war in the background??
Overall a good read, definitely decadent and queer and a bit messy.
