💭 Thoughts
Let’s be honest, I signed up for this ARC because of the title and the word “croissant.” 😂 What I didn’t expect was that it’s a polycule story, and since it’s my first time exploring this kind of dynamic, I felt uncomfortable but decided to keep reading with an open mind.
I loved the little scrapbook pages and illustrations. Those were definitely the highlight! But as for the story itself… the plot didn’t really go anywhere. It mostly focused on the relationship between the four characters, and honestly, Yasmin wasn’t as strong of a lead as I hoped. The only one who really stood out to me was Riku (sorry the rest 😬).
The vampire part? A bit cringey, but it did make me laugh out loud a few times because I had no idea what was even happening. 😂
✨ Overall Thoughts
I don’t even know how to rate this because it’s just so different from what I usually read. The concept is wild, the visuals are fun, but the story itself didn’t make much sense to me. Still, it got a few giggles out of me, so I’ll give it that. 🤣

Exploring the vampire theme in 'Vampires in Paris' reveals a fresh, if unconventional, perspective. Unlike typical vampire novels that emphasize suspense or horror, this book leans toward character relationships and comedic moments. As someone new to polycule stories, I appreciate how it opens a window into complex relationship dynamics, even if it felt uncomfortable at first. The multiple points of view — four in total, including a standout character named Riku — add depth, giving insight into the group's evolving connections. The scrapbook pages and visual elements enhance the narrative by bringing the characters’ world to life, making the reading experience more immersive and playful. Despite the story’s loose plot and moments of confusion regarding the vampire lore, the book offers giggles and an entertaining break from conventional genres. For fans curious about alternative vampire stories or those interested in polyamorous relationships framed in a unique way, this book serves as a conversation starter. It isn’t perfect, but its charm lies in unpredictability and originality. If you enjoy quirky, offbeat fiction mixed with humor and a Parisian backdrop, this might be a great pick for your next read.
