Review: An above average vampire story...

I'd rate this work 3.5. It did keep the reader interested in the mystery of this particular vampire. The narrator(William) was easy to follow with his free spirited nature. The master/servant relationship fit well into the described time period. Although, I think it was a little too much after both male characters had a deeper involvement. The insistance of William still calling Merrick "sir" at the end of the story seemed more like a sub/dom relationship. Well, whom I to argue. A 261year old vampire probably is more  ahead of the game than a nineteen year old. Basically, the story had a good plot and likeable characters. Personally, I prefer the sex scenes not overdone but more subtle. It wasn't too over the top.The only question left unanswered was when Merrick's fellow vampire(Theo) mentioned turning someone into a mate. He never elaborated what happened to him. For me it left a gap in the story. It's still worth the read if you are into vampire stories.
