Review for We Love the Nightlife by Rachel Koller Croft

 We Love the Nightlife by Rachel Koller Croft

Published August 20, 2024 by Berkley

Genre:  Paranormal, Vampire

 


Taken from Goodreads:  Locked in a toxic female friendship, two vampires careen toward catastrophe in this dark and dazzling page-turner, set amidst London's glittering disco scene.


London 1979. Two women with a deep love for disco meet one fateful night on the dance floor, changing the course of both their lives forever.

Nicola, a beautiful and brooding vampire for nearly two centuries, can’t resist fun-loving and feisty Amber from America, ultimately offering an eternity together where the glamour of nightlife always takes center stage.

But not all is what it seems.

Nearly fifty years later, after an unexpected betrayal, Amber wants out from under Nicola’s thumb, but it won’t be so simple to break up this festering friendship when she learns others have done the same—and wound up dead.

Sensing Amber’s restlessness and in one last play to keep her close, Nicola proposes they open a nightclub of their very own, hearkening back to their best days as dancing queens.

Amber agrees but she’s secretly hatching a dangerous escape plan. And if she fails…the party is over for good.

 

My Thoughts: We Love the Nightlife is a unique look at being a vampire.  It is a story of being stuck with someone you did not like, not even a little bit, and knowing that if you leave you will be hunted down. 

I enjoyed this book, it was fun.  The book did not have that WOW feature that made me need to and want to read more all the time, but I did enjoy reading while I had the time.   I felt like the story moved a little bit slow at times and there were some parts that I felt did not make a difference to the story.  None of the characters were ones that I connected with.

If you like paranormal books, check this one out.  I am interested to see what other’s will think.

Thank you Berkley for a copy of the book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
