I was given 'Payback (Channeling Morpheus/Sweet Oblivion #1)' by the author through the Goodreads M/M Romance Group’s 'Don’t Buy My Love' program for an honest review. This story is told in first person through the eyes of Michael a vampire hunter.Michael has been setting himself up as bait in order to attract and kill vampires ever since his friend Scary Mary was killed by three of them.The story starts in the middle of the action with Michael waiting for a killer vampire he has a date with. In the meantime he meets a very attractive man named “Wild Bill” that insists on hanging around Michael. The story progresses through when Michael is picked up by “Gray” the vampire he’s after, and through a night of sex. The book is mostly a sex scene, but I’m not complaining.The author did a good job with the character’s voices; I especially want to know more about Wild Bill, he was quite a character. I wish we knew more about the characters, because we hardly found out anything about them in this story because it was so darn short. It’s a good thing this is only the first in a series because one short book is not enough of a look into this world.I don't want to forget to mention how much I love the cover. All the covers in this series are terrific. They aren't the same models used on so many other stories covers and the coloring and poses carry an intense energy and grittiness.I enjoyed the level of tension and suspense and the overall feeling of doom. I’d read this again and would read the other stories in the series. The one flaw, is this story is way too short so I can only give this 4 Stars because of the lack of length.
