TTC Books and More has reviewed Beside the Darker Shore, a vampire thriller and mm love story.
“…oh wow! This is a fabulous vampire story. You have the darkness, they are evil, yet you can’t help fall for them. I was even rooting for Arturo to find what he was searching for . . . There is several turns and lots of action. It’s quite gripping and page turning and shocking… Yet it’s not actually a romance. You could probably say it’s a love story in a way.” — TTC Books and More
Five-star-reviewed vampire novel explores the risks of love. What would you give to have all you desire?
Beside the Darker Shore
What might the ethical Governor David Gedden give up for one man’s exquisite beauty? It’s terrifying to consider when the man is a destructive blood prostitute and David is responsible for the state’s peaceful vampire community. Blood sales in Boston are up, blood taxes support a thriving new nightlife, neighborhoods have been refurbished, and deaths by vampires have plummeted. David is assured reelection.
However, the blood addict Stephen Salando has returned from exile with one unalterable plan: to turn the good governor into a vampire. Stephen is an immortal dhampir, whose beauty obliterates reason, who rouses in David a fierce desire he’s ignored his whole life. But for David to have Stephen, he must ally with an ancient vampire, the community’s seductive archnemesis. To have him, he must become a killer himself.
Will David hold on to his ethical public life? Or will he follow what he most desires, a kiss with a killer to become a vampire himself?

From the peach tree, ripe fruit drops to the dark hillside. Under his cool lips, her skin is tender and ready to be pricked. Full-leafed branches tremble at the wind. With her shiver, a rain of ready fruit drums to earth, thunder in her gut, her blood ready to pour.
