Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)Dreamspun Beyond (8)
Love is a high-stakes game. A century and a half ago, Ante Novak died on a Croatian battlefield--and rose three days later as a vampire. Now he haunts Las Vegas, stealing blood and money from drunken gamblers and staying on the fringe of the powerful vampire organization known as the Shadows. His existence feels empty and meaningless until he meets beautiful Peter Gehrardi, who can influence others with his thoughts. An attraction flares instantly, bringing a semblance of life to Ante's dead heart. But the Shadows want Peter too, and they're willing to kill to get him. As Ante and Peter flee, they learn more about themselves and each other, and they discover that the world is a stranger place than either of them imagined. With enemies at their heels and old mistakes coming back to exact a price, how can Ante and Peter find sanctuary? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I have rarely made it through a vampire novel, but this year I read two. It's just been a weird year all around. I liked Ante and his reformed ways. And Peter's a perfect antidote to Ante's holding pattern, providing welcome silliness as well as changes.
Though this lost momentum a few times, getting mired in details that really weren't needed, there are some fine and some funny moments, and it ends really well. Both character arcs are good, the bad guy is just complex enough, and surprises are as much for them as for the reader. The ebook at least could use a line-edit; there are some missing words, and two sentences that don't make much sense. But they're easy enough to ignore for most readers, noted here because it's my review, and I do notice.
I expected more...levity?...from this author. But that wouldn't have fit Ante, and he is the POV character. (
