Forever After by Ashley R. King is a highly entertaining story featuring a vampire reality show that is filled with intrigue, sarcasm, and suspense!

This was so unbelievably good and highly entertaining! It’s a vampire reality show! Oliver Gray needs money, when he’s offered to be the bachelor for a vampire dating show, how could he turn it down? I mean, ever since vampires and werewolves were discovered in the world, they all co-exist without a problem, so going on the show should be easy-peasy. Unfortunately, he has to pretend he’s been hibernating for years and doesn’t understand modern things—he even has to wear Victorian clothing.

“I can assure you there’s no foreplay here, just two people who share a mutual disdain for each other.”

When he meets Autumn, it’s not a meet cute; quite the opposite. They can’t stand each other, but Autumn is already set to be a contestant. She shows up knowing Oliver will send her home, but when he doesn’t, and they truly start to get to know each other, well, you know what they say, there’s a fine line between love and hate.

“Ruin me every day for the rest of our lives.”

I just loved this book! Ashley’s writing made the story feel like I was watching it all play out in a real tv show. Autumn’s character was a delight. She’s sarcastic and gives Oliver a hard time, but she’s also loyal, kind, and rational. And Oliver, with his accent and his great manners, had me swooning!

I loved the confessionals, the delivery bats, the dates, and best of all, the suspense, which was incredibly surprising! I was on the edge of my bed, eagerly and desperately wanting to know what was going on! It helped that it was fast-paced with things happening one after the other. I was all here for it, extremely invested.

“I’ve had enough bats to last me a lifetime. It’s like we’re living The Vampire Diaries right now and not the fun, steamy parts either. Where’s my Damon with his sexy, little smirk?”

I loved that, despite it being a show to fight for the bachelor, Autumn found a true friend in Teagan. I loved their friendship and how these two were thick as thieves and always there for each other.

The romance was so sweet, but when it came to the good stuff, hot damn. 🥵 Our hero with an accent can really smooth talk and dirty talk. *fans face*

“You slay me, love,” he whispered, his tone reverent.

Overall, Forever After is a fantastic start to a brand new series that is full of entertainment! I cannot wait for more!
