Review: Not What You Might Think

I got this originally expecting an erotic book of sweaty bodies and voyeuristic sex.  Yep, found some of that BUT the thing I enjoyed the most was the hectic near death first meeting between these two unlikely characters.  The fact that both have some secrets to hide from the other inserts the required angst into this story and the action portions which I had personally wished to see more of were shunted aside after the first breathless brush with death for them both.  The purpose of this  becomes obvious after you read it, this was not a book about near super heroes (which is where many of these characters fit) but about a very VERY complicated relationship between two very unlikely people.  To have turned it into the book I wanted would have taken many more pages and months more time and since this was a novella and not a full fledged installment into the Narcoleptic Vampire series, the focus on the relationship and its erotic but emotional story.Dicey did this well, I did not find too many scenes that were distasteful (obviously there were a couple since I am unabashedly not a huge fan of erotica) but the story stuck with me long after those scenes of sweaty bodies were long faded into grey.Bottom Line:  4 Stars - It is going to have sex, it is going to have some weird sex since one of the characters is an "intersexed" vampire (who makes these words up?).  The fact is that at the heart of it, is a very good story of action and emotion so if you are open minded enough to read it, then enjoy the ride.  I found it entertaining even without enjoying several of the erotic scenes so be aware this is not "porn with words" as much of the erotica I see has become, there is a really good story here but again you have to have read the other books in the series to truly enjoy this I would think.
