Bloody Good (Brytewood, #1) by Georgia Evans
This adorable ditty is a cross between PNR and historical fiction – vamps in a sleepy English town during WWII.

While the sounds of battle echo through the sky, a lady doctor has more than enough trouble to keep her busy even in a sleepy hamlet outside London. But the threat is nearer home than Alice knows.
