"A thoroughly modern vampire novella!"
This modern vampire tale was absolutely fabulous and
utterly delightful. I read it in no time at all and just
wished it were a longer story! Roger Wannamaker or Brakos, as his vampire family
calls him is half mortal and half vampire. He's disdained
his mortal side for years. He's a web page designer who
works at night. One of his big clients sends him an email
one evening asking him to meet him in a private chat room
to discuss business. Roger hates chat rooms in general but
agrees. While he's waiting for his client to show up, he
scans the other chat rooms available. He comes across a
very interesting one called Transylvania. What is that all
about? Before he knows it, Roger peeks inside the chat
room and meets some interesting characters but when Fyre,
Queen of the Gypsies makes her entrance, it's as if no one
else is there. Roger is absolutely entranced. When Fyre
reads her Tarot cards, she finds out that Roger is her soul
mate. This is the start of a whirlwind on-line courtship.
Roger knows that nothing can actually come of it but he
enjoys it while he can. Susan McNulty, otherwise known as Fyre, is
fascinated with Roger and wants to meet him in person but
with her being in California and him being in New York,
there's a slim chance of that ever happening. Then Susan is
given a chance to come to New York. What will Roger do
now? Will he agree to meet with her? This story left me wanting more. I thoroughly
enjoyed it and would have loved so much more to this
enchanting story. I highly recommend this and all of Linda
Bleser's books. I predict this author is going places!
