Eternal Kiss (author's site):Nicholas has spent centuries doing what he does best-hunting and killing. A Halloween masquerade seems like the perfect place to amuse himself and grab a quick bite to eat, but he gets more than he bargained for when he sets eyes on the beautiful Anna. He's a vampire who is happy being alone in the world but is Anna about to change all that?
Anna has had a tough life and her luck with men is dismal. When she finds herself swept up into the seductive embrace of a sinfully handsome man, she thinks that luck is finally changing, but things are not all they appear.
Caught up in their masquerade, Anna and Nicholas both find it impossible to deny their attraction to the other and they succumb to their desires. Anna takes everything in her stride, convinced that she's either dreaming or about to die, and wanting to make the most of it regardless. Nicholas starts out wanting nothing more than her blood and her body, but things soon change. What will happen when reality comes crashing down around them? Will love last forever if it's sealed with an eternal kiss?
Review: This is a very short, engrossing Halloween tale-under 2o pages actual story line. The author does a great job on describing the lure a human has for a vampire. Because its length, there is no real character development-no deep emotional understanding, etc. You don't know what actually makes Nic or Anna tick, their experiences, who they really are, nothing really. What the reader gets is a snippet of this fantastical, carnal Halloween encounter and its lasting repercussions. It would have made an absolute great tale if it were expanded, hint to the author. This story is as much a must read for its escapism as for the price...$o.84 at Fictionwise. For under a dollar, you can't go wrong with this vampire/Halloween tale. The cover is very good, one that actually is more representative to what the story is about, imagine that!
