Turkish Delight
Jacob didn't ask for this. But when a hot hermit steps right out of 1995 and offers you a hundred grand to get him caught up with the modern world, you say yes—even if he does claim to be a vampire. Vampires aren't real, but cash is, and Jacob's neck-deep in student debt.
Emir is polite, soft-spoken, and severely isolated, but he's eager to learn about what he's missed. When he offers Jacob something more than money as payment for his help, Jacob is faced with the reality that the hot hermit may not have been lying about his diet after all—and finds himself with a new hunger of his own.
Now Jacob has a choice to make—cut and run while he still has the chance, or stay on as the vampire's loyal pet. The smart choice is obvious, but Jacob is finding it harder and harder to resist the pull of the awkward weirdo with the quiet smile. And there's no way Emir has anything to do with the sudden spree of murders in their quiet New England town—is there?

The author literally apologizes for the dumb idea for a book.
A guy, Jacob, meets a vampire, Emir & accepts an offer to be his assistant in exchange for enough money to pay off his student loan.
The things we'll do to pay off student loans.
But, damn, I want expecting a cute vampire romance.
There is nothing dumb about this book and everything so good.

This started out really great. A cute story between a grad student and a vampire out of touch with current times. I could have just read an entire story of Jacob helping Emir catch up to the 2020s.
But then the murder spree started. And with that came Or, at least show me more of the times they spent together vs telling.
I wasn’t crazy over the murder stuff, but I really didn’t care at all for the last 15% or so of this. It pretty much ruined the story.
Aside from the disastrous turn the story took, there was the fact that this had some typos, the random Cordelia POV, and Jacob being referred to as “the boy” from his own POV, when it was Emir that referred to him as “the boy”.
What could have been a cute story suffered, in the end, from just doing too much.
