horrorbutch 's review for:
Vespers
by Irene Preston, Liv Rancourt
It's more of a 3.5 rating.
Disclaimer: I received an e-copy of this book on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
A religious demon fighting vampire, who kills demons for the Catholic Church. Or more accurate for a group called White Monks. His goal is redemption and a new chance for his immortal soul. But when a mistake is made and his new Personal Assistant turns out to be a men it all gets way more confusing and difficult. Does he still want to work with the Catholic Church in exchange for his immortal soul or does he want to follow his heart?
Sara thinks he is just there to be a Personal Assistant. You know, take phone calls, write e-mails, that kind of stuff. However after Thaddeus saves him from a demon he realizes that his new boss is not quite human. Still he wants to assist and not just help his boss with his "Special Diet".
On top of all this, Thaddeus Manager Ms. Alves is nowhere to be found. Together they embark on a trip to find the truth.
Even though a split POV is something that is often overdone, it worked well with this novel, as we got great insight in both characters, which I enjoyed a lot. Thaddeus also often used French Exclamations in his POVs, which is nice, but at times confusing.
I liked that Sara was raised Hindu, even though he isn't practicing at first, there are many references to his faith later on. I also enjoyed the fact that Nohea, a black woman, liked women, even though it was only mentioned in passing.
The story was fast paced and there was a lot of witty remarks towards the demons, which I enjoyed.
However at points characters appeared and then disappeared and left loose ends which confused me. The ending is also very abrupt. Not a cliffhanger, just sudden.
I enjoyed the book for the most part though, even though there are still some questions to be answered, which will probably happen in the next book.
Why I read it: It sounded interesting
Do I recommend it: If you enjoy paranormal gay romance with a bit of will-they-wont-they and murderous demons, read this book.
