Summary:
Ever since an accident turned her into a knockout vamp, Elvi Black's been catching her z's in a coffin, staying out of the sun, and giving up garlic. She knows there's more to being undead than what she saw in Dracula, but she can't very well ask her mortal friends about proper biting etiquette. But when her neighbors placed a personal ad for her in the local paper, she never imagined she'd meet Victor Argeneau, a vampire who could have his pick of any woman—dead or alive.
Rich, powerful, and drop—dead gorgeous, Victor's the perfect man for a novice neck—biter like Elvi. He's willing to teach her everything he knows, but he'll have to do it fast. Someones out to put a stake through her new vamp life, and only Victor can keep her safe—and satisfied—for all eternity.
honeywhenyousleeps' Review:
This is not my first Lynsay Sands book, and after reading this one, it won't be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, all the way until the ending, and finished it quite fast, in about a day or so.
Relationships:
Elvi's friends decide to put an ad in the paper, looking for a single male vampire, and six men are asked to come down to her restaurant to surprise her. I loved the way Victor and Elvi were both attracted to each other instantly, but were fighting what they felt for one another, until they could deny it no longer.
I loved Victor's friend, DJ, that decided to come along with him to support him on what had originally had been a mission, for Victor and DJ believed that Elvi had broken the law of exposing them for what they were.
DJ and Mabels relationship literally had me dying. I was laughing so hard I could not stop, the whole book really.
And, be warned, they are explicit sex scene starting around the middle of the book until the end.
Characters:
They are the things I love most about Lynsay Sands books. Her characters are always making me react in some way. Either they make me laugh, angry, or smile like an idiot. My favorite though, in this book, would have to be Victor. There was just a certain allure to him, and the way he easily accepted and cared for Elvi, and how he was committed to a relationship, although she was weary.
Loved the cheesecake situation, if you read it, you'll know what I'm talking about. I had a crush on Alesandro. Just such a cute little Italian.
Ramblings:
This book flows effortlessly. I literally was like 'wow' when I saw I was almost done with it. It's so amazing, you don't realize that it's a book.
Some of the stuff, in the book, did make me go like 'what was that for, are they that stupid?' and this was mostly directed at Mabel, and Teddy. They had Elvi believing ridiculous things, that they had no evidence to back up. If you had read the books in the series before this one, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Lynsay Sands mythology is much different than other vampire books. They can be out in the sun, they do not age, and can only be killed with a stake in the heart. Basically, vampires originated from Atlantis. Nanos, these tiny cells, repair the body, and revise the aging process and those handy things, but they need more blood for the more damage that they have.
End Thought:
I'll be waiting for the 8th book to come into hands, anxiously, and will reread this rest in wait. I give this book a 4/5. Great book for a day in a bed, that's when I read it, while I had the most horrible toothache. You won't regret it.
