This book was completely hysterical. Was it high literature? No. Did it have much of a storyline? No. But did I just about wee myself laughing at the sheer improbability of it all? You betcha - and that's why it gets 4 stars for what is essentially vampire porn.I got the book for free (courtesy, as always, of Freebooksy), and as per all of the free books I download, didn't read the blurb or see the cover. Thus, it's always a surprise. Of course, often the 'surprise' is the complete lack of storyline or editing, but this novella was an exception.There's not much I can say about it really - the characters don't have much time to develop, but I think the heroine is probably broadly relatable; and the plot itself is brief because the entire rest of the book is just one sex scene after another - and these are hilarious. Hahahaha. The guy is, as a few people have pointed out, just an improbably large human-type-thing in every respect. To be honest though, I feel like this may be an intentional device used by the author: if in visual porn, everything's exaggerated to the point of ridiculousness to appeal to peoples' animal side, then why not do it in light-hearted erotica instead?My favourite, absolutely favourite part though, was the guy's fangs. Firstly, if there's one thing I DON'T want being done to my general 'down-stairs' area, it's having someone freaking BITING it. With FANGS. With SIX INCH FANGS. Hahaha. Wtf, right? But the best part of it all is that as the guy gets more turned on, his fangs freaking grow - they're described with the same imagery etc as his.. uh.. nether regions (I'm assuming there's some kind of censoring in these reviews). And every-time they're described, I couldn't help but think of them as being not exactly 'teeth' so much as 'miniature mouth-dicks'. Which detracts from the whole 'big macho vampire man' thing but adds immeasurably to the hilarity of the whole situation.Very entertaining. Times Square on New Year’s Eve. A million partiers chanting the final seconds. This year, it’s a countdown to death. My name is Twyla Tafel and I’ve uncovered an insane plot to unleash berserk vampires on those unsuspecting revelers. I have to stop it, armed only with my great admin skills, my useless art degree—and Nikos, a severely hot vampire who I’d love to photograph as a Spartan king roaring his muscular challenge at the Persians. But Nikos has issues, if you know what I mean. Roadblocks in his psyche that say stop when all I want is go-go-go. See “severely hot”, above. Although if I finally break through Nikos’s reserve, I may get more than I bargained for. He’s seriously big, seriously built, and more than just a tad dominant. Still, it’s time to push my limits and find out who I really am, so I’m willing to try…I think. I’m sure. I’m mostly sure. Until he starts stalking me with those sable bedroom eyes and long, sharp fangs—!_______________________________________________________________________This is a really really really short read from the other books in the series, but it has similar characters from the last book in this one. nixie's friend Twyla has a big googooo crush on nikos when she first saw him, and she thought he had no feelings for her. of course, this is the part where he steeps in and proves her wrong... then her cousin later on causees all trouble because he believes that vampires exist and sets a bomb of some sort in the ball room. later on twyla saves the day by telling julian what to do with the wires so that the vamps won't start attacking the humans in the ball room.Overall its a good book, and i rate it 3.5
