In Blue Poppy Fields is amazing. Simply amazing. The description and thought that Ciaran put into it kind of blows my mind.We feel the annoyance and fear as Adhemar finds his dead master and does what he can to try and cover up the justly deserved murder as he knows he will be blamed for it. I was so rooting on his side when the law came for him that he would escape their 'way' of extracting a confession, but instead I lived along with our main character the pain inflicted on him both by his captors and himself as he clutched that last vestige of the truth to his chest.His 'savior' Sanyi is one of my favorite characters. A vampire and yet part of him hates what he is, he is sweet and yet very much a vampire at the same time. I love how he takes the reeve down a few dozen pegs. He also has fallen desperately in love with Adhemar. Add in Vincent the caretaker fallen angel, Reyach the faecubi and the High Demon Belial, and this is a book that will make you gnaw on your fingernails and not want to put it down until you have read the last sentence.I would go into much further detail, but I do not want to give away all the wonderful parts of this book. Cas! I won't do it.And yes, along with the great characters and gripping storyline, this book is also chock-full of what makes M/M erotica something I love reading.Unlike many authors, Ciaran does not skip over the gory details. His description of the tortures Adhemar received made me shudder, but were so well written I did not skip over them as I would normally do.I loved this book and am now anxiously waiting for the next one.
