Synopsis
“A boyfriend in a box. Do not keep under direct sunlight.”
After the death of her father the antiquarian, Diana Daraeva struggled with the debt he left her together with his antiquities shop. Her dream of becoming a famous antiquarian was ready to be shattered by reality.
Only a miracle could save it, but Diana didn’t believe in those. Not until she accidentally released a centuries old vampire from a sealed coffin in the store’s basement.
Jean-Jacques, an embodiment of dangerous allure and mysteries, all hiding behind his suave smile, was Diana’s miracle. In return to Diana’s help, he offered Diana to help fulfil her dream—and she agreed. A best helper there could be—someone who was alive (or undead) when the antiquities of today were made.
But when old and new enemies appear, crazy exes compete in the madness of their stunts, and hidden truths unveil, will Diana be able to grow into her heritage and find her place between the two worlds? And how long will she be able to escape Jean-Jacques’s temptations?
⠀⠀ ⠀
I stared at him like he just grew another head. “So basically, you chose to pursue me of all people because I'm so impossible for you to seduce, is it? You do realise that you only make your task harder right now?”
“But that’s the whole point, ma chèrie! The longer the chase, the sweeter the prize.” Jean-Jacques’s smile turned positively sly, but damn if it didn’t make butterflies fly in my stomach.
“What I will keep refusing? Forever?”
“Well,” he clicked his tongue, “then this will be a first.”

A solid opening pace for setting the time, place, and the FL's situation. The first-person perspective is fully utilized to add a touch of humor, regardless of the actual event unfolding in real time, and to let the FL's personality show. Over the course of several chapters the world still keeps slowly growing, giving everything a chance to breathe, no mouthful of exposition dumps here. :3
a book shouldn't really be judged by its cover . The first chapter was just dam hooking . gave it a go only cause you told me to, but I actually love this . change your cover probably,?? cause it shouldn't have this little collection 🤔all the best, sincerely loved it
At a steady and smooth pace, the story unfolds. It's most certainly an enticing read. The characters have their own distinguishable voice, making them all the more appealing.
This book is gripping! Diana's thoughts are the icing on the cake for me! And I was smitten by the dashing JJ! The author has created a unique story, and I love it!
I've read numerous vampire books through my life, (but funnily enough not Bram Stoker's Dracula), and didn't think I'd enjoy reading yet another take on this old subject. I can't really say what made me try this one (hypnotoad?), but I'm glad I did. I'm about a third through the released chapters, so I cannot speak for the entire book, but so far the narrative has been steady and doesn't show any signs of staleness. On the contrary, there are enough interesting things happening to keep me using my FP to see what happens next. No dragging misunderstandings, grammar could be improved, but over all the English is good, there is a lot of humour spread out through the book. Some of JJ's remarks have me cracking up. And I'm getting interesting recommendations for Russian movies along the way. Added to my list of 'They're actually good! (who knew?)'. 🙃 PS: must....obey.....Hypnotoad
This is an incredible story! I was hooked after the first chapter and read all 30 In one session! I love the characters and the world! Please keep writing daily author!
The story is well written. Grammar and style are very cured. The author has a good vocabulary and it clearly shows. story is good and interesting, with a good start and development!
The writing quality is good and I really like the concept of this novel, with a promising plot and interesting characters, the novel is def going to my library. However, the pace tends to become slow for me at times.
As per usual another great story from Garessta! I was excited after seeing it in the writing contest and even more excited when I saw it had a vampire in 😍 This is a definite must read. The first chapter pulls you in from the start and the writing is impeccable. I love how the author writes with great descriptions. Continue with your amazing writing! I look forward to seeing where the story leads from here ☺️ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I certainly got this added to my library the moment I have started it and mostly nearing the end of this novel I did stayed all throughout. All of the elements in this story are quite amusing and so is the story development that prevailed to be constantly changing within and with our main characters' portrayals that give it more vibrance. If you're a fan of anything that's of vampires, or any other supernaturals, you might as well give this novel a try and I can assure you that this has quite its own right to be a great read.
This is a lovely novel that gets every single one of my available votes. You will not regret reading it. It’s original, and fun! with the supernatural intrigue i have been searching for.
Love the starting,nice summering,thanks alot.I really appricate your effort in writing this book💖 it one of most read book nice work,keep it up.
I am thoroughly enjoying this - looking forward to what happens next and to following your career as an author. Thank you for your creativity and masterful storytelling!
Not gonna lie, i thought this might be a noblesse fanfiction about frankenstien x reader or something when i saw the front cover lol.[img=recommend]
TL;DR Great book! Couldn't put it down even when I have work the next morning. Love the story development so far. Can't wait to read more. Keep up the good work! ------------------------ Long version Currently on Chapt 119 and decided I needed give this book a review. Usually I leave reviews after I finished reading but I really like the story thus far. Let's talk about the MC, she's funny, stubborn, brave and again funny especially when she interacts with the ML. The ML is very charming, mysterious and also heartwarming. Their banter is just too cute and funny that I can continue reading about their interactions with each other. Now the story development and plot, very interesting idea [Spoiler ALERT . . a witch who didn't know she's a witch much less an Arch witch! . . ] So the story slowly reveals MC background she never knew about and the story behind ML. They have at least 1 enemy so far, BUT I feel like there's more to the story. As for the writing, I like this style of writing but there are spelling and grammar mistakes here and there. I only pointed this out because sometimes it'll take me 30 seconds to 1 minute to figure out what was suppose to be there. 🤔 Garessta, keep up the good work! Thank you for such a good story so far. Can't wait to read more! Til then, I'll read your other completed novel! 🙂🙂🙂
Not my usual genre but an interesting story nonetheless. The author does a great job of immediately establishing JJ and Diana's dynamic. Each chapter naturally leads to the next and left me interested to see what would happen next. The plot doesn't stagnate at all and the story is well paced. If you're a romance fan then I'm sure this story will hit the spot for you. If you aren't one, I would still recommend giving it a read.
Overall refreshing and engaging concept, with honestly compelling and interesting characters. The first few chapters I read were quite good with no writing mistakes. I am adding this to the collection. Good luck, author. (On that note, I want to say that only the book cover looks stupid to me) :D
