The Secret Diary Of Detective Vampire (The Detective Vampire #1) by J.J. Jones - Restarting April 6th

[Lee]

Detective Jack Van Pierre is no ordinary detective. He is no ordinary vampire either. One thing is for sure, he is intent on delivering justice in his own special way. He is a vampire that only preys on the blood of criminals and he has been cleaning up New York for the past 10 years all by himself.

However, the time has now come to move on before his secret is uncovered but there is a minor complication. A human female. Her name is Olivia. The Detective Vampire faces a very hard decision. Does he play it safe and leave before anyone gets hurt? Or does he risk exposing his true identity in the chase of that thing that humans call “love”?

40% (view spoiler)[ Jack is so clueless. Of course she is going to think it's a date!! You asked her out for drinks! I'm sure that movies would have taught him that. (hide spoiler)]
46% (view spoiler)[ Woah. POV change. This is weird and I'm not sure what to make of it yet. (hide spoiler)]
52% (view spoiler)[...... I don't even know what I just read. I hope that was a dream because that straight up came out of nowhere. (hide spoiler)]
53% (view spoiler)[Well just kidding. It wasn't. 😩 (hide spoiler)]
80% (view spoiler)[ I was really hoping for more Dexter and less 50 Shades. (hide spoiler)]
Finished (view spoiler)[ I'm really conflicted on how to feel about this. It was incredibly dry and the romance came out of nowhere really so... I'm conflicted for sure. I def could have done without the sex scenes. (hide spoiler)]

So agree
(view spoiler)[ I think Jack watching all of these movies were meant to give him an insight to human interactions but he missed the massive clue if you ask a woman out alone specifically then it's definitely a date lol (hide spoiler)]

53%
(view spoiler)[ I was kind of hoping that wasn't going to be what I thought it was but I was wrong....
Ps where's the mystery in this book? (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki]

70%
(view spoiler)[ kik I get he's confused about Olivia but to blurt it out in a bar like that with a work colleague after having never admitted anything to the guy before... Erm wasn't that rather outrageous (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yesssssss. That's exactly how I felt! I was hoping for mystery and got none of that. (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki]

(view spoiler)[ the scene in the interrogation room where Brogan suspected Jack of something yet never really clued anyone into what just compared him to Gerald as to say "something was off with them both" wouldn't he as a sergeant be more inclined to find out what he was dealing with in his team? (hide spoiler)]

Olivia
(view spoiler)[ to act how she did on a first date then turn the cold shoulder on because he left her in the morning what else was he supposed to think when you slept with him on the first date? Come on... Self worth..l (hide spoiler)]

[Nikki]

Finished
(view spoiler)[ not sure I'd call this atrocious but I wouldn't call this good writing either because it was missing something. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I agree. I feel like it really needed to be longer maybe? Or maybe just the description of it is a little misleading. I don't know what is missing, but there is something missing. (hide spoiler)]

Yes
(view spoiler)[ it felt flat, like we weren't immersed enough to know what it was it was trying to tell us (hide spoiler)]
