On the contrary, the vampires are conspiring again and are trying to take down the League one member at a time, it seems. Eleanor's mission, given to her by Anima, leads her to uncover a centuries old secret that could mean an end to the vampires influencing humans.

panViolet is neurodivergent, extremely book smart, but inexperienced at interacting with people and charmingly blunt. She's a new doctor just out of university and doing her rotation in a hospital. She meets Gus, an anaesthesiologist, on her first nightshift. He's confident, likeable, easy on the eyes, and nice to Violet. Violet could fall for him instantly, but he's still hung up on his ex-fiancée.

pickA vampire mystery is less about gory details or enthralling vampires and more about lonely people. Don't get me wrong, it's also about catching the murderer, but mainly it is about how lonely the individual POV characters and some of the side-characters are.

Fourth and last book in the Tomes and Tea series.
Dedication made me chuckle.

This last book wraps up the series nicely, but I'm still sad this is the last book. I hope we get some spin-offs or novellas set in this universe in the future.

I liked the premise of pen pals having sent each other sarcastic hate mail for over 20 years.
Pan because the miscommunication was more deceitful than cute.

TLDR; fake engagement, dark academia, chosen one vibes, ends in cliffhanger

Low pick
pickA decent ending to the series/trilogy, but not how I expected things to end.
The story starts right where Shadow Cabinet ended - not going to spoil the ending of book two here, people who have read it know what happened. From there lots of things are going on that lead to a lot of loose ends to tie up and Dawson used a rather deus ex machina method to achieve this.

Although the four people don't know each other it is soon clear that they might actually share the pivotal moment in their lives. ⬇️
