This book was unputdownable for me. More than a queer contemporary vampire "marriage story" romance, this book felt like an exploration of the sudden pressure that determines whether a long-term relationship can cross over into true life partnership. An exquisite combination of horror, romance and the sweetly mundane, it confronts Nolan's and Parker's deepest fears about who they are and who they might become. Don't expect a generic paranormal romance, but something altogether quite special.
