charms1976's review

I admit that the cover is what caught my interest. (Look into my eyes!) I can't resist the dark and broody brow. Then the blurb captured my curiosity into thinking this might be something different for me to enjoy in the vampire world.
This was a book that I had to force myself to finish. There were many points where rolled my eyes and hoped I was getting closer to the finish line. This book was also bogged down by history and setup for the character with tons of narration. Back story can be a good thing, but too much is overkill. I also need my characters to have interaction and less flashback. While the story had promise with a good foundation, it was one that was overly done without the bang it needed.
Another thing I want to mention is that this book does fall into the M/M category of paranormal romance. If this isn't your cup of tea, then please step back and go back to your usual reading. The sex scenes weren't as sexy as I thought they would be, and at times they seemed to be there for page filler.
This was another case of great cover art luring me in, but the story failed to keep me interested or entertained. This is not to say it was horrible or not worth a try for some, just not one I would want to read again.

The book starts of slow, and the first half is a long series of flash backs. Which was silly. I understand that this was the second story after a short story, but he might as well have just started from the beginning. So that those who already read it could skip ahead, and those that didn’t could just read along. Because the author ended up retelling the story anyway. It wasn’t until the last third or fourth of the book that it got interesting and the sex was actually erotic instead of a lame drug induced quickies. The changes in Cord and the new world he is entering could make a very good story. This one however was so/so at best. Its saving grace was that its not a very long book, so you can power through most of it.
