Blurb: When an imposing man dressed in black leather, riding a Harley, and sporting a mysterious eye patch charges into an alley and saves college senior Melvin “Tigger” Jacobsen from a creature with soulless, solid black eyes and glistening fangs, sparks begin to fly. Too bad they may not live long enough to explore their irresistible attraction.

Guy Salluci is a vampire hunter who works for a highly covert organization called EERIE. He is Mel’s dream man come-to-life. His bulging muscles and stern countenance are a sharp contrast to the gentle care he gives the injured Mel.

Until now, Mel’s biggest challenge was finding a studly boyfriend who will put up with his terminal geekiness. When he finds himself on the run from the vampire, Valjevo, who has targeted him for his next meal, Guy puts him into protective custody at his hidden Mercer Island residence. Mel finds himself falling head-over-heels for the enigmatic vampire hunter—a man torn between his ravenous desires and the horrors of his twisted past. But is Guy even capable of returning Mel’s affection?

When Valjevo hunts Mel down, intent on torture, mayhem, and satisfying his vampire lust, Mel’s only hope is to be rescued by Guy. But the vampire hunter turns out to be not entirely human and unexpectedly vulnerable.

Publisher’s note: Contains scenes of graphic violence, male/male sex, brief non-con, and mild BDSM.

Reviewer: Shorty

Review: Melvin “Tigger” Jacobsen is attacked one night while walking home from a bar by a vampire. A mysterious man saves him from certain death at the vampires hands. When that same evil, sadistic vampire, Valjevo, targets Mel, Guy takes it upon himself to keep him safe at all costs.

Guy is a vampire hunter, who is part vampire, works for EERIE (Encounters with Evil: Research, Investigations, and Exterminations). When he rescues Mel from the vampire, he is instantly attracted to him but fights it. He has a job to do as he hunts down a sadistic killer vampire before he kills again.

The scenes with Valjevo, a vampire, were sadistic in their nature. This vampire loved to torture and toy with his prey by any means necessary before draining them of blood. It broke my heart what he did to Guy while Mel was made to watch. I was intensely happy when the tide turned and this evil, sadistic vampire was killed.

Intense scenes, a lot of drama between Guy and Mel, suspense and action are all throughout this wonderfully written book. Guy’s past was given in bits and pieces as the story unfolded. I was actually getting mad that instead of talking to one another about how they felt Guy and Mel just assumed things that weren’t true. There were a couple of hot scenes between Mel and Guy.

Great read.
