![]() We’re “shown” how well Karter meshes with each of these men, but there’s little thought process behind it other than a need to fulfill desire. ![]() Outside of the feeding and sexual dynamics (which are sometimes separate, sometimes together), the romance element isn’t emphasized too much. Alepoú depicts Karter very much as a “werewolf,” and the vampires are bloodthirsty monsters (with various definitions of monster), rather than humans who can turn into a wolf and prefer red wine with dinner. ![]() ![]() I imagine it all depends on how much a reader can suspend their disbelief in sharing headspace with a protagonist who only looks human on the outside (and then only sometimes). Depending on your tolerance level, a significant portion of the sex in this book isn’t very sexy either. However, is it wrong to wish that the book had included more of the worldbuilding and plot than romance-related drama? As much as I enjoyed meeting Karter and the vampire den to whom he finds himself in service, so many details dropped about the “outside” world intrigued me a lot more than how Karter came to enjoy his place with Weston’s crew of vampires.Ī strong warning for tentative readers: Karter is there as a source of food for the vampires, and that’s not always sexy. This paranormal romance story includes a cast of intriguing characters and plenty of sexy bits. ![]()
