Let’s just say that Joel Leslie knocked this one out of the park. Thanks for the home run, Joel!

The story was solid, a vampire and his human assistant were running away from a Slovak vampire stalker. JCP created a different type of vampire world, one in which they are “out” but also discriminated against due to the high level of passing the vampire virus. It reminded me of the 80’s when people know little about HIV transmission, and contracting it was a death sentence.

Read this book, listen to it if you can—even the audio sample will give you an idea of the characters JCP created and Joel Leslie breathed life into.
