Welcome to the Flexible Book Exchange, a club for writers and readers looking to get feedback on their work. Unlike the traditional structure of a regular book club, you are in charge of your book club experience. You choose the books you read, how...
Warnings: For now, mainly drug and alcohol references. Depression and struggles with mental health is also part of one of the character arcs.
Feedback: Technically this is the second a part of a series, but I'm testing to see how well it stands up as its own book so any feedback from new readers about points that are confusing or underdeveloped are especially appreciated. Also if you find it hooking or interesting. Any other constructive feedback and reader reactions are always welcome too.

Username: MarCafeWrites
Story: Carpe Noctem
Genre: Historical fiction/paranormal/mystery
Chapters: 21 (plus epilogue and very short prologue)
Description: Lucy Penn, an aristocrat and fledgling vampire, has to thwart the insidious ambitions of an ancient evil being in order to save 1890s London from eternal darkness.
Warnings: mentions of blood, gore, vampire violence
Feedback Preference: I'm mostly interested in how convincing this is as a historical piece. Could you imagine this piece of literature existing in the 1890s? Does the overall tone and themes have a classic gothic Victorian style? I'm autistic, so the way in which I perceive/process social interactions is very odd - so I'd appreciate the reader's perspective on whether or not the characters' dialogue/conversations are smooth and realistic.
Average chapter length: 1200 - 3000 words
Reading Preferences: I like character based stories, as all plots are copies of each other. I prefer nothing about teenagers, "alphas," or the mafia.
Will read Mature Content: Detailed sex scenes make me very uncomfortable. Everything else is fine.
