It’ ‘s not just fear keeping Tyler up at night… and that’s what frightens him.
Tyler Lomax met Lucien, supposedly the oldest haemophile in existence, on a dark night in the depths of winter. Tyler was protesting against Baron Emory Von Magnusson taking possession of a human child. He thought he’d been doing the right thing— fighting against evil, against fear.
Lucien had almost killed him for it. Now it’s months later, and Tyler hasn’t slept since. Tyler wants Lucien found. When the authorities fail him, he feels forced to take matters into his own hands.
Tyler’s contact ‘ Damon’ doesn’t call himself a ‘ vampire hunter’, but that is exactly what Tyler intends to pay him to be. What Tyler doesn’t bank on is having Lucien at his mercy, forcing him to confront what’s really consuming him.
Tyler will not only have to face what he is feeling but finally open his mind to a perspective other than his own. He just has to pray that opening up to Lucien won’t bleed him dry before he realizes the truth.
REVIEW:
Tyler Lomax has one goal, fighting against evil, and the evil in his opinion are the haemophiles.
In book one we saw how Emory and his human partner Jesse adopted a human child.
Tyler is outraged about it, loud about it, what got him almost killed by Lucien, another scumbag haemophile!
Since that event, he can’t sleep at night, which doesn’t make him any nicer.
Now he will be hunting down Lucien himself.
Tyler thinks he knows everything, throwing around accusations about Lucien. Oh boy, little does he know.
So, how to catch a vampire, well, Tyler got him a helper.
His helper got a list with Lucien is Classified as A—Unpredictable, Uncooperative, Extremely Dangerous.
Lucien is probably the oldest vampire ever known. Nobody understands him or his motives, and he’s tired of it, tired of being misunderstood.
I’ll keep it to this, because at some point the tables are turned, and spoiling is no fun.
Tbh I didn’t understand the purpose of some interactions, but I did just go with the flow.
Was Tyler likable? Most of the time not really, and I didn’t mind, I found it quite interesting to watch an MC, and me struggling with feelings about him.
I found Lucien most endearing, lovable and way too good for the world.
Overall a great read, engagingly written, absolutely nothing I expected, it was entertaining, with a lot of suspense and excitement and everyone got what they deserved, ha! To be continued!
