Thank you so much to Simon Teen for the complimentary copy of this book!

This book is out now!

I have been trying to expand the types of books I am reading this year including a few with paranormal elements. I do not read a whole lot of vampire books and let's be honest my own real comparison are to a certain vampire series that I read over 15 years ago now.

This whole storyline is so wild!! You have Howard this high schooler who is just trying to get through his days and he meets George while volunteering at a nursing home. But George isn't there to visit an aging relative, he is there to spend time with his long time partner during his final days. Howard is immediately drawn to George. I don't know if I would call it insta-love but it was insta connection between the two but George was technically still with his partner James. Even after James had passed (which sort of just kind of happened on page) it was like okay let's be together! I wish we got to see more of George through the grieving process and that there was more time between him and Howard starting their relationship. It just seemed so fast for someone who was so in love with their loved one.

I'm not sure if I missed it but did they even discuss what life is like for George as a vampire? Howard was all about becoming a vampire but it just didn't seem like there was no conversation leading up to it.

I primarily did the audio of this and Kevin R. Free pulled off both point of views. What I thought was brilliant of him was that his voice was different for Howard and George so that it made it easier to tell whose point of view we were in. I am glad I listened to the book because I really was into the story and to see truly how bonkers it could get.

Its very hard to decide how I feel about this book because on one hand it was not the best romance I've read but at the same time I was very into it and couldn't stop myself from enjoying?

If you are looking for a slightly campy MM vampire book - give this one a try!
