Short Summary of book:

This book tells the story of a gay vampire in the difficult period of the AIDS epidemic. He looks for love but needs to be careful due to this and seek his lovers very diligently. Funny really, most vampire books I have read, suggested that vampires are not affected by a human disease.

What I liked about the book:

I particularly liked how the vampire woos the unsuspecting bar customer and speaks to him so gently. And then there is the unexpected twist at the end. Well worth a read.

What I didn’t like about the book:

I liked the book in its entirety.

My favourite bits in the book:

I loved how the author described the vampire. Through the entire book, he comes through as a gentle creature.

My least favourite bits in the book:

I liked the book in its entirety.

Any further books in the series? Any more planned by this author?

I understand this book is not part of a series. The author has, however, published several other books. Quite an achievement for someone who is visually impaired.

What books could this be compared to and why?

This book reminded me of several other vampire stories. It did, however, have an interesting and slightly unexpected twist.

Recommendation:

In summary, I would recommend this book for the following readers:

Children

No

Young Adult

Yes

Adult

Yes

If you like stories about vampires this book is the book for you.

I look forward to reading more books by this author.
