BLURB:
Alpha males, delicate souls, and the Undead hit it off in a new scramble for the last happy ending.
A billionaire dies a suspicious darkroom death in Georgia Beach’s only gay haunt. The Vampire Festival is about to start. A professor of quantitative metaphysics predicts Armageddon for Thursday. Her sister, Juliette, falls in love with street-smart Romeo. Elsa, author of heat-level romance, meets ravishing Ben, progenitor of erotic techniques. Shakespeare, Albert Camus, Enid Blyton, Mark Twain, and many other writers appear in cameo. Corpses pile up. Alpha-hunk Alex recovers from a suicidal overdose—with amnesia—and can’t remember his sexual orientation. John, his oversexed lover, is losing it. Is Alex still gay? Is John is still trolling? (Yes.) Will their partnership survive the End-of-the-World?
REVIEW:
Ugh. I read a lot of reviews to this books, just to get an idea of what others thought, and I have to say I wish I could agree. I feel stupid with this book to be honest. I didn’t understand a lot of it. It felt all over the place to me, which I get to a point being as John is Bi-polar and it’s from his point of view, mostly. I don’t know. I just had such a hard time with this book. I honestly don’t know how to review it.
John is caught up in another mess. People are dying all around him. Alex is up to no good and is trying to ditch John. There’s confusion everywhere. Everyone seems to sleep with everyone and it’s a clusterf@$k. Alex is claiming amnesia from his attempted suicide, Maurice is still healing, Ray is in jail, John can’t bail him out, “Ben” is now “working” in John’s escort service that isn’t officially a service. Every time you turn around, someone is at the hospital or something and John can’t quit figure out entirely what’s going on. Or how he’s really feeling about Alex with the way Alex has been treating him.
I have got to say, if I was John, I would hide under the covers and never come out. In the past week that he has known Alex, he’s been to the police station so much they practically know him by name and sight. He’s been on on murder, suicides, and everything in between. Alex is seemingly getting him involved in more stuff that he has no clue about. And Alex, I just want to punch him in the face. Since his “amnesia”, he’s been such a dick. He uses and uses John and everyone around them and no one has a clue to what he’s doing. They just all somehow end up in trouble. The only one that seems to really care for John is Maurice. I don’t know. It’s just a mess to me. I just know I can’t stand Alex and wish John would get a clue.
I can’t recommend this book because it’s just not for me. But a lot of people enjoyed it, so if you want to give it a try, please do. Give authors a chance 🙂
