About the Book

When a vampire slayer loses all his memories, the only person who can help him is the vampire he’s tried to kill for centuries in this unforgettable short story by #1 New York Times bestselling author Ali Hazelwood.

When Aethelthryth—“Ethel” to her modern-day Manhattan neighbors—finds her sworn nemesis Lazlo Enyedi with no memory of who or what they are, an ancient hunt becomes an unexpected chance at forbidden passion. He’s crashing on her couch, solving her sudoku puzzles, and looking at her like she’s his eternal flame (minus the whole bursting-into-ashes part). As his memories slowly return, Ethel realizes she might be in danger of losing more than just her head…

Ali Hazelwood’s Hot for Slayer is part of Scared Sexy, a deliciously dark collection of Halloween romance where things that go bump in the night might just steal your heart. These seductive stand-alone stories blend chills and heat in the perfect Halloween treat—each designed to be devoured in one sitting.

Review

Hot for Slayer acts as a decent kick-off to the spooky season. In no means should this novella be taken seriously. It’s pretty ridiculous and often fun. Ethel is undeniably an Ali Hazelwood FMC with her quirks and interesting humor. She is the star of the show. She and Lazlo have known each other for centuries. She’s a vampire, he’s a vampire slayer who’s been assigned to hunt her. It’s a simple plot with an amnesia plot, and she’s forced to take care of him. Unfortunately, Lazlo felt less like a character and more like. A trope, which made the romance a little less effective and predictable for me.

Final Thoughts

Hot for Slayer is a short, entertaining read. It’s comedic and lighthearted. Perfect for this fall season. There is a lot of information dumping, and the romance isn’t life-changing, but it’s worth a shot.
