A text can come across as “messagey” or preachy if it’s focused on the message at the expense of storytelling craft. Many of the books I’ve worked on have a message but they don’t come across as “message-y” because the storytelling elements such as character development & arc are prioritized. 4/5

Alt: Michael Scott's Super Interested Reaction - The Office
Hoping someone can help me out: I am remembering a book (but not sure if it was published or not) about a mortuarian who discovers her new boss is a vampire and she lives in a town of supernatural creatures. Any one know what book I might be remembering? Definitely an adult title.
