The perfect romance to sink your teeth into She's out for adventure. He's out for blood. The world of your favourite fantasy novels is real, and you're invited to visit. The only catch? It's filled with thirsty vampires. Devour this page-turning romance from the bestselling author of One to Watch. Tess Rosenbloom is no stranger to the dark. A grad school dropout and chronic insomniac, she spends her nights managing a chic Brooklyn hotel and her days curled up with her favourite vampire novels, Blood Feud. Tess even dabbles in online conspiracies that Blood Feud is real - it's fun to hunt for clues! But deep down, Tess doesn't believe vampires actually exist . . . Until one walks through her door. It turns out Blood Feud is real, and the sexy villain of the novels is trapped. Eager to escape her life, Tess agrees to help rescue him, and soon she's in a fantasia of lavish palaces and enchanted forests, on a secret island where the sun never shines and she's surrounded by deadly vampires - and against her better judgment, she's falling in love with one of them. (And unbeknownst to Tess, her estranged best friend is having a sapphic affair with a beautiful vampire of her own back in New York.) Visiting the world of your favourite story is any fan's dream, but will Tess be able to outrun the demons of her past (and vampires of her present) before it becomes a nightmare? In this darkly glamorous rom-com, Tess will find out whether it's worth risking her neck - and her heart - for a chance to reclaim her future. Why you'll love reading Fang Fiction . . .

This was such a treat!! The portal fantasy and online vampire fandom aspects were soo fun and I appreciated the care with which Tess's traumatic backstory was written. Strong recommend for fans of other fang fiction.
Overall a decent book but I think there could have been more depth to the relationship building.
What a fun little story! I think I like vampire romances which makes me feel like my mom.
Falls apart after a promising beginning. The central romance (M/F) has little genuine chemistry and the MMC's character development is all over the place. The final act includes a pretty big deus ex machina and one of my pet peeves - evil, bloodthirsty villains who kill with impunity but for some reason let the MCs live (so they can brag about their nefarious plans). And yet Fang Fiction held my attention for an entire day, which is no small feat less than a week post-US election. I was amused by the premise that a blockbuster paranormal trilogy with a rabid fan base turns out to be real. As a long-time epistolary novel enthusiast, I had to bump up my rating at least half a star for the inclusion of podcast transcripts, voicemail recordings, texts and memes. And though I wasn't invested in a HEA for Tess and the vampire who loved her, the sweet, funny secondary romance (F/F) was a suitable consolation prize.
I don't know that I would be interested in another book by this author, but Fang Fiction was the distraction I needed this week.
CW: The FMC is a sexual assault survivor, and the plot shows her healing from the trauma and eventually ensuring that her rapist is punished. However, taking a woman who has been made to feel helpless by a man and plopping her down in the middle of a world of powerful, vicious vampires who want to hurt and/or kill her could be triggering for some readers. It doesn't help that the book's tone swings wildly between snarky humor and intense emotion.
