Why I think this book is must get my 5 stars?
Let's start talking about the most interesting aspect... the romance...
Both men will narrate the story. Richard is a 900 years vampire, while Josh is a vampire hunter. Nope, do not think (as I did, and is was my big mistake!!!) it's the same old tale... nothing can be new about this old enemies falling in love theme...
NO!
The characters are PERFECT to a romantic story. Differently of what you may think the vampire is not the reluctant of the couple, trying to avoid at all cost to be emotionally committed. Nope... Josh is the lone soul of the book... his pain, hate and fear of love/be loved will break your heart!
But it's not only a romance, there is also great suspense and action parts
Because both men are fighters. Richard a real knight in a shining armor... defending his lovers, and being in terrible pain for his failures.
and Josh? Oohhhhhhhhh Josh (I LOVE HIM!!!!). Sorry, in control of my hormones again...
Josh is a killing machine, with deadly fight skills and some extra inhuman cool powers
I would love more fights (sorry, I'm a big nerd.. fan of fight and nerd stuff) but I think the story is perfect the way it is... maybe with more fights my nerd brain would be more happy, but there is... don't worry... some man kicking another man ass is there... and HOT AS HELL when it's happen!And... to end my review let me talk very quickly about one more thing... the humor
It will always and only be Josh the funny guy... why? Simple, it's his way to try to avoid what is inevitable... the growing love between them... so well, he will do some sarcastic and incredible funny comments...
Just to tease you, read this (Josh and a woman, Glory, on the phone. Richard is the argument):
Glory laughed. "Poor dear. Though, I think it's good for him to be involved in something meaningful again. He--" She broke off. "Good Lord, is he singing 'The Lusty Month of May'? From Camelot?"
"Ah, yeah. Something like that. Been singing show tunes all day."
"Josh, that's..."
"I know. Really gay."
So well, it's just an example... Josh crack me up so many times! I like his sense of humor!
In conclusion if you don't believe in true love, or in love at first sight this book is not for you... because it's very simple, and also astonishing, read about love... unconditional love that soul mate share...
5 stars and definitively this story is one of the few I'll read more than one time! I want more of Richard and Josh!!!!
