review 1: This is a thing I often say but somehow this time it is a particular disappointment.It is not easy to step into this subgenre, M/M vampire, that has been inflected in every possible way. Yet, without even trying to invent anything new, Ms Waters manages to create a maintain a narrative steam that is not everywhere to be found. The usual vampire/human interaction is interesting and when it comes to sex and love it becomes sizzling.All this bespeak an uncommon writing talent.Unfortunately talent must be flanked by skill as well.First this novel is far too short and leaves about half of his potential in the pages which have not been written. There is an irritating tendence to overdescribe; some inconsistencies and several clumsy turns of phrase are just as irritating but not ... moreas much as a the paragraph's division which is so ill done as not to allow to understand who is speaking/thinking/doing what during interactions, when POV shifts constantly without the reader being able to grasp it.The same obviously mars the sexual encounters: not only what the characters actually do to each other sometimes read a bit hard to achieve but sometimes one also does not understand who is doing what to the other.So much more the pity...
review 2: A quick read about a man working in a fetish club owned by a vampire. Rowan owes Theron his life and Theron takes his payment in blood, a very enjoyable act for both of them. After seven years Rowan meets a man who makes him want to break it off with Theron. Although this takes place in a BDSM club there is no real BDSM action going on. There is a little bondage at the beginning and it is eluded to throughout but we don't experience any of it. It's an interesting take on vampire feeding and the results. less
