Suddenly time skips forward 6 months to a year I think if this was a longer novel, that time could of been fleshed out and made the whole story much better. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu
Brady Duncan has been indulging the whims of best friend Tessa McNeil for years. When she announces in the middle of a vacation in New Orleans that she's managed to obtain an invitation to a notorious local Vampyre Haven at the historic Maison Bertrand, Brady reluctantly agrees to accompany her. He's never understood her fascination with "the lifestyle," as Tessa calls it, but complete in Gothic makeup and black Victorian garb, he goes with her to the mansion in the bayou for what he believes amounts to an elaborate Halloween party. He couldn't be more wrong. Brady almost immediately realizes he's in over his head: he's not put off by the d#65533;cor, or even the drugs, but when they stumble across rooms where blood play is on display, he decides it's time to leave. But Tessa isn't ready to go, the doorman Gerard keeps referring to him as "the offering," and some of the more insistent guests have chosen him as a party favor when he is rescued by the enigmatic Lucien Bertrand. Or is he only getting into deeper trouble? A part of the 2010 Daily Dose Set, Midsummer's Nightmare, which includes 30 M/M stories of supernatural romance that may feature an edge of suspense and heart-pounding fear; a taste of the paranormal worlds of ghosts, vampires, and werewolves; and even the stuff of nightmares and dreamscapes.

I found it hard to like any of them. Tessa is the least likeable and gets her come-uppance in the end. Brady is just naive, and I guess I sort of felt sorry for him, but really - he should have known better! And Lucien - while I definitely felt sorry for him, his method of getting Brady to do do what he wanted was less than admirable.
All in all: a good story about human nature that most definitely rings true. What I wanted was more insight into the change in Brady's attitude as well as his relationship with Lucien. It's almost as if this story is the beginning to a longer novel and I missed the positive emotional payoff I was hoping for at the end. ( )
