LENGTH: 105 Pages
BLURB: It’s tough being a vampire. For one thing, there’s so much time on your hands. And for another, being undead for centuries means that you meet way too many stupid people…
Socrates Delis, since he has to be awake at night, wonders why he shouldn’t make better use of his time. So to ease his loneliness and hopefully meet a more educated group of people, he enrolls in night school at UCLA’s extension courses and quickly finds that poetry isn’t the only thing on the agenda. Somebody is killing off young gay men around town, and students are nervous. And by the way, didn’t Socrates swear off love? So why’s he finding himself attracted to his hot, human teacher?
Devin Gold loves his work. The great poets are his favorites to share with his English lit students, and while teaching, his life often seems just about perfect. But holy heck, his crazy Uncle Vince just blew into town and has even invaded Devin’s night classes, disrupting his life. Uncle Vince and Devin’s mom think they’re vampire hunters. Devin knows there’s no such thing, and has lived with the shame of their insanity all his life. Now his uncle swears that LA, even night school, is swarming with fangers.
How can Devin keep his sudden attraction to his handsome new student, Socrates, a secret? He’s not sure, but he has to try, especially since his obsessive uncle will undoubtedly insist that Socrates is a vampire. It’s tough being a sane human in La La Land…
REVIEW:
Socrates Delis is vampire who wants to live a human. So to have the life he wants to live enrolls in night school at UCLA’s extension courses. But then there was a murder happening and a vampire hunter came to destroy this killer. The problem is, this hunter thinks it’s Socrates’ friend and he must protect his friend.
Uhm, sorry. It just didn’t work out for me. I kept on hoping that I as go on, I’ll like this book. But it didn’t. The plot is not solid enough for me. I love the whole concept of the book, how it was presented and told was what didn’t work for me. I feel like the tale from the past was disjointed and was placed on the plot randomly. It got my head shaking.
The whole point of the plot is to find this murderer. There are just a lot of curve balls in finding this killer. Like so many tales had been inserted before we even know what happened to him.
And the main characters just don’t have that pull on me to make me like them. I feel nothing. Devin’s character is strong for me in the beginning. Kind of like radiating an alpha male vibe which is I like but throughout the story my perception of him changes. I don’t know, I see him as submissive.
Probably the sex is the only thing that liked about this book aside from the whole concept. Which is weird because I don’t really like that kind of sex in a book. But it did had an effect on me.
I’m not discouraging you to read this. It’s your choice really.
