review 1: Brady allows his lifelong friend, Tessa, to take him some place, he never expected; a Vampyre House. Brady doesn't understand the creepiness inherent with this lifestyle, and wants nothing to do with it. Despite being uncomfortable the entire time, he continues to go along with her, ignoring his discomfort until he's nearly raped.Brady is rescued by Lucien, and through sexual coercion, he is changed into the very thing Tessa brought him to the party to seek herself; a vampire.I lost all respect for Tessa within a few minutes of their arrival to the house. I felt for Brady, being overwhelmed and all, but he did say yes. Also, I gotta say, I love that Lucien was as monstrous as he was. Vampires, while admittedly sexy, are still predators and this was awesome to see. Lucien's... more guilt afterwards for changing Brady as he did was an interesting side bit.All in all, a creepy, telling tale about human nature that I wish had been longer. I understand the art of anthologies and short stories, but I was a bit disappointed at this tale because it seemed rushed. BF has Copland's fantastic description of place and character and all the feels in place, but it felt incomplete. I would have liked to see more of the vampire verse and Brady's adjustment, because even after 50 years, he still wasn't all that thrilled despite coming to love Lucien, and while I felt Tessa's comeuppance at the end was justified, it seemed as if it came just a little too late.
review 2: This read was nifty. :snorts: Not the right word, but it's late so be it as it shall. Lucian is really smooth and cunning in the way he gets Brady to be his, but he does it with class to my way of seeing it. Tessa, is a deceitful biatch in the way she uses Brady as a meal on a plate to try and obtain what she wants which is? You got it... to be beautiful Forever only to have it backfire on her sorry ass. I really liked how it played out and I wished it had been made into a longer story to fill in some of the fifty year time leap that they took, but it's a great short if that's what you're needing and you can't resist a hot vamp and his life partner that is one you'd only love with his blond good looks and blue as sin eyes. A very refreshing read. less
