End Testosterone Now

I’m torn between loving Road Trip With a Vampire and hating it. The good catchy moments the author is so good at creating are there, the funniness from the first two books is in this third one too (the chicken restaurant?!), but the rest…

The ‘gods’ thing instead of just one God bothers me all the time – I’m not that evolved to let it go. And it’s not just the witch that believes that many different entities created the world, the vampire does it as well. Guess only those two (who clearly are more evolved than the rest of mankind) are able to see the big picture here, while regular humans in this story (so primitive) refer to Him in the singular form – they say “God” because they are uneducated and outdated and didn’t yet learn the right way.

Now the second point that is killing me is how the author puts men in such an inferior position. In the first book of this series, My Roommate Is a Vampire, the story unfolds from Frederick being unable to live on his own and counting with Cassie to guide him into modern life. As a vampire groupie, I was in ecstasy with that book, especially with the end – Cassie may resolve everything, but Frederick stepped up to try to fix his problems first.

In the second book, My Vampire Plus-One, Amelia has this girlboss-badass way of dealing and solving Reginald’s life and death situation while working in a full time accountant job. She is more active and imperative than Cassie, she has means of her own and a cat, while Cassie was practically a homeless artist in the previous book – I could see myself in both of them, so real that were their personalities. But Zelda, the witch? I haven’t read enough of this third book to know her well, but I’m already aware that she and only she knows what is good in life. If the feminine characters continue to follow this rate, the main character of the next book will be the ultimate feminist – can’t wait to meet her!

This author can make me laugh like no one else; she has this amazing ability where she can write a story that can be both simple and mind-blowing. That said, please enlighten me as to why she and so many other talented writers go deep into this black hole of destroying men as if they belonged to a less evolved species. What did men do to deserve that amount of hate?

Amelia (the accountant) is a swiftie, and I couldn't help but remember that, when Taylor Swift released a new album full of songs written to her fiancé, the “fans” put a lot of effort into taking away her credibility as a songwriter – her music was better when she was a heartbroken woman who liked to expose her previous boyfriends to the judge of society.
