Summary

Other parents give their children toys and party games for their birthday. My dad gave me and my siblings wooden stakes and flash grenades. To protect us from vampires.

From the moment he adopted us, he warned us about the dangers that lurk in the dark. Obviously, I thought he was crazy. Vampires aren’t real, and I was already enduring enough panic attacks without buying into dad’s insane ideas.

But then I met Talon.

Talon has fascinating scars and a mouth I want to kiss and a body I want to feel - and fangs.

Vampire fangs.

Suddenly, the weapons dad gave me start looking real useful.

Only I don't want to fight Talon. I want to feel his teeth on my neck. I can't explain it. He makes my knees goes weak. I know it's wrong, but it feels right.

It feels like destiny.

When Talon bites me, I forget everything, even that he is a monster. Even that I shouldn't be falling for him.

Even that his coven wants me dead.

A good story and narration that suck you in!

A new vampire series that sucks you in (in a good way) :)
Collin is a snarky, slightly bratty young man that happens to meet a vampire (Talon) at a bar. Both men were fun to read/listen to. ... especially when Collin would push Talon's buttons. Their story is very interesting and I'm looking forward to reading more about these 2 (their story ends as a HFN, but is complete on its own), and the newly created vampire who may already be known to Collin and his family.
John Solo is excellent as Collin, Talon and Aldritch. Actually, he does a great job with all the characters, but he really captured the tone of these 3 - snark (Collin); stoicism (Talon) and puckish-like tendencies (Aldritch).
Great way to enjoy this book!

A good story :)

Story: I liked the plot and characters a lot. It was definitely an entertaining read that was quite dynamic from the get go.

Narration: I must say it took me a while to get into the narration style and voices used. At the beginning it was grating a bit for me, but overall the characters are very well diferentiated and it is probably my personal preference on voices used that generated the problem.

There comes a time for every vampire

When the idea of eternity becomes unbearable. Living in the Shadows, feeding in the darkness with only your own company to keep rotts into a solitary hollow existence. Immortality seems like a good idea until you realize that you are going to spend it... Alone. ~Unknown~

This quote resonated for me because I felt like this was how Talon lived most of his Vampire life while serving Zenon. It's like he was just drifting without a real purpose and I felt the loneliness. Then Collin crashes into his life and lots of it flips for him. I really loved the relationship between Talon & Collin. I don't want to give any spoilers away but there was a lot of interesting things going on while we are learning more and more about Collin and his families past. I really loved this book. There was only a couple of times that I felt like Collin was whiny and melodramatic, John Solo nailed his voice when he was acting childish, which made the situations better. I don't know if I could have dealt with Collin in my head alone if I was reading this book. So thank you John Solo for the moral support when crafting all of the voices. You killed it!! 💝

A vampire and a human!

Love comes in many shapes, for Collin is an alluring vampire. His memories haunt him so he makes a deal with said vamp. I like the world building, the group of adoptees Collin is a part of. They live in a world of magic they are unaware of also. There is a slow burn for the MCs, a bit of angst, a skeleton on a sofa, and lots of love. Great paranormal story!

Great start to a new series

I really liked the new twist to the vampire lore the author created. And can hardly wait to see how the series continues.

John Solo did an outstanding job with the narration.

weird but enjoyable
