Indebted to the Vampires by Erin Bedford

AKA: The one where I said “absolutely not” to a reverse harem of six vampires and a plot held together with vibes and wishful thinking.

Womp. Womp. Womp.

This one was a miss for me like. The writing style is very written-as-spoken, which can work if done well. But here? It felt more like a teen’s diary entry than the setup for a six-vampire harem situation. Casual narration isn’t the issue, childish tone in a grown-up smut book is.

But what really made me tap out wasn’t the style. It was the nonsensical setup for how our girl ends up as a live-in maid to six hot bloodsuckers like we’re in a weird fanfic. Within 15% we’re already spiraling into insta-lust so intense she’s ready to drop everything and, ahem, ✨️self-reflect✨️ over an MMC. Less than 30% in and there’s already a full frontal with eye contact.

Now look, I love a good RH. But I love one that gives me tension, build-up, dynamics... a reason to care about who's sticking what where. I want to earn the spice. This one felt like skipping the foreplay and diving face-first into a lust buffet without checking if the buffet is… y’know, cooked.

I DNFed at 55%. The series seems to be very spice-forward, so if that’s your thing, you might enjoy it. But if you're like me and prefer a little longing and slow-burn ache with your fanged fantasy, you might want to keep this one in the maybe pile with a respectful nod and a firm “not today, Dracula.”
