I have to be honest. I don't like vampire stories and I don't generally read erotic literature. I have no problem with either, they just tend to be trite, redundant and often crass. The Nightlife: New York was none of those. Travis Leudke managed to balance his characters humanity by allowing them to maintain their emotional selves and still live out their predatory desires. The story had layers inside of layers as the characters struggled with their inner and external conflicts, as well as intense action scenes where I actually found myself caring about the outcome. He did justice to each and every one of his characters and their situations by not once allowing anything in the book to become a tired stereotype. At the same time, he moved the story along magnificently with action in every chapter. The last vampire book I tried to read, I tossed away and never finished. This one, I've already suggested to three friends.
