A very charming collection of short comics about the same two characters: a vampire woman and a werewolf man, living in today's world and dating each other.

Light, sweet, and funny, these comics are about at a PG-13 rating, and the book makes for a quick read, perfect for filling the time when you're waiting on something, but engaging enough to sit and focus on, too.

The author uses good world-building to help us understand the quirks and small struggles of daily life as a supernatural being (putting on makeup without being able to see yourself in a mirror, or having the sudden urge to chase a squirrel, even though you're not in wolf form).

The artwork is crisp and a pleasure to look at, and the author uses the short, "daily comic" format effectively. I did sometimes wish that certain plot elements that were introduced would be followed up on in the next several comics, but this generally didn't happen.

3.5 stars!
