BLURB

Down the twists and turns of the London alleyways, where Chinatown meets the highstreets, lies a small venue where unknown rock bands often play to crowds of less than one-hundred. Isaac is nineteen, living on the sofa of his best friend’s brother – Eric – after his bible-loving parents tossed him aside because of his sexuality. After two years of struggling to make sense of his life, Eric and Charlotte convince Isaac to attend Red’s gig; an up and coming rock band with a small cult following. All hell breaks loose and Isaac is left injured, with the whereabouts of his friends unknown and his body crippled on the ground. It’s then that the four members – Troy, Nicolai, Kyle and Moss – aid Isaac by infecting him with a ‘magical’ virus that grants immortality in exchange for consuming blood. The ‘Paranorm’ world is exposed to Isaac. Vampires, werewolves and warlocks lurk in the depths of the city he has lived in his entire life, but he won’t become one with the night until he completes his nine-month transition, leaving him in the hands of the band and at the mercy of vampire politics.

We first meet Issac when he is out with friends, going to a concert. However the evening doesn't go as planned,  as there is an accident and Issac is fatally wounded.  As he lays dying, he seems quite prepared for it, and can literally feel the life draining out of himself.

The band that Issac went to see - called Red - were not as they seemed either.  Their "gimmick" of red eyes was not because of contacts but because they were vampires, and Issac had caught the eye of one member of the band. 

As Issac lay dying, the band together took the decision to help Issac, although Issac himself had no idea of what was happening.  When he finally woke up, he had a lot to learn..... his life was never going to be the same again. 

We then go on a journey with Issac for the transition from being human to being a vampire., which actually it takes months., it is not immediate.  We soon find out that he has to learn the new way that his life will be., especially with his eating.

However, there are other things that being a vampire means, and Issac also has to learn these, but he finds it hard at times.  He seems to grow close to Nikolai, but events that happen soon put this to the test.

I don't want to say what happens, as I hate spoilers in reviews!! What I will say is that I really enjoyed this book, it took a totally new way of looking at changing from human to vampire, and I loved reading about it.  I hope that there will be more books like this one, especially to see what happens to the others in the group..  To me personally, I can honestly see these characters in a series, even more so due to the other people encountered along the way.

TEASERS

EXCERPT #1 “You don’t have to.” Nicolai seemed to notice my hesitation. “I want to,” I replied as I began to shift my body down the sheets, my face dropping closer to Nicolai’s to plant another kiss on his lips before my mouth moved to his neck. I used my tongue to leave a trail of saliva from the tip of his earlobe, down between his pecs and over his hard abs until I was knelt at the foot of the bed with my mouth hovering around the waistline of his jeans as my entire body began to shake with nerves. I wanted this; I really wanted this, but what if I was no good? At least if we were doing everything then I could rely on Nicolai to lead the way, but this required some talent on my part. Nicolai reached down, undoing the button on his jeans and sliding the zipper down as he used his free hand to ruffle my blonde locks that I just realized might get in the way. I ran a hand through my hair, pushing the strands over my shoulders and hoping that they’d stay put. I reached out, grabbed the tip of Nicolai’s jeans and tugged them down, also bringing his black boxers down with them and causing his thick shaft to spring up in all its glory.  

EXCERPT #2

I took a moment. Breathing deeply. Letting my chest rise and fall slowly. Composing myself before forcing a smile onto my quivering lips, and then I turned around to head back downstairs, as if I wasn’t fazed at all. Only, when I shifted my body towards the exit, Moss was standing with his cold stare fixed on me. “I’m fine,” I said quickly in my defense. Moss sighed. He began walking towards his room and turned his head from me. “Didn’t ask,” he replied in a gentler tone than usual as he took his messy, green hair into his bedroom and slammed the door shut behind him. At least I didn’t have to worry about him smothering me with overbearing affection anytime soon.
