Review: Quite nice--too short!

Jane Davitt's take on and expansion of vampire lore and vampire integration into modern society is marvellous. The characters are vivid and the relationship's development is equal parts frightening (is this going to turn out all right, or is our hero going to end up shredded?) and exciting (it's hard not to hope that things will, somehow and some way, work out, as terrifying as the prospect seems). The dominance/submission elements are perfectly blended into the plot, into the world's mythos, and into the needs of the main characters, thoroughly drawing in a reader like myself who doesn't normally read that genre. And I enjoyed the narrator's frank and sexy voice and approach to his surroundings. The author's wordcraft is fun to read--I found myself highlighting choice phrases. I only wish the story had been longer, because the author creates such a depth of worldbuilding and only lets us stay there a short amount of time. There's clearly so much more to see.It was reading time well spent, and I hope that positive reviews will encourage the author to return to this world and share more.
