Okay, I'll say first that I don't read vampire or serial killer stories. But a friend who knows how much I enjoy truly excellent writing bugged me and bugged me and I finally succumbed.A romance writer once said that writing a series romance is like trying to dance Swan Lake in a phone booth. I'm sure the restraints around writing a novella-length story feel similar, but Zanetti has done a masterful job.The characters jump off the page, have vivid personalities and motivations, the author's take on vampires is like no other I've heard about, and opens the field for some great heroes ...and the sex scenes! Erotica with finesse. So many erotica authors seem to think crude words and detailed anatomical descriptions of various body parts interacting is erotic, but often it's just plain boring. Zanetti combines all those elements with character insights, emotions, and sensual details. And it's anything but boring. You get sucked in and then participate in touches and feelings and sliding skin. Great stuff.Loved the big bruiser of an alpha male and the quirky, unusual heroine. Loved it all, in fact. You will, too.
