3.5. I requested this book on Netgalley because I wanted sexyqueerchaos on a cruise ship and I guess I got queer chaos on a cruise ship, I just didn't personally find it very sexy. My first slight disappointment was when I discovered the main characters - a married couple of vampires - weren't old school blood thirsty vampires but emotional vampires, meaning they feed on people's emotions. This was a cool twist and definitely made the story less messy but apparently I have a blood k1nk because I missed some good old neck biting and blood guzzling. I really enjoyed the plot and variety of.characters and how much they bent gender and defied binaries and were all chaotic bisexuals, but I didn't find the smut very smutty. I can't put my finger on how, but it was like it wasn't written to titillate and so it very much did not, and that was another disappointment. The cover, however, swoooooon.
