Vampire Slave #2
Vampire Slave, #2
Thalos, the world’s oldest vampire, and Dusty, the leader of the vampire hunters, must work together to destroy the insidious vampire Johann. Thalos felt a sublime attachment to Dusty ever since he marked him as his servant when he was a child. Dusty grew into a beautiful man Thalos can’t help but desire. He thinks it fate that they’re united at a time when he seeks peace between the hunters and vampires. The fact that Dusty is under Thalos’ spell makes things even sweeter.Working with a sworn enemy causes strife for both vampire and hunter. Thalos needs to retrieve a tool from a sacred island that only a mortal can reach. However, it’s important to vampirekind that the hunters never learn about this island. His only choice is to put Dusty in a trance. Thalos can’t stand the idea of betraying Dusty’s trust. The fact that Dusty admits he plans to eventually kill Thalos isn’t helping matters.

Johann, the bad vampire, is still being a problem.
Dusty gets a ring from the Monk that liberates him from Thalos' control...but there is still an attraction there.
Not the best Yaoi I've read...it's the cover art that actually drew me to this serial. Very quick reads so I'll probably go ahead and finish.

This review encompasses the entire series.
The cost to read the entire 5 book series is fairly steep. For a serialization, the expected cost is always higher, but at $0.99 for the first installment and $2.99 for each addition that follows, the reader will be spending a hefty $13 for what comes out to be about 175 pages of total story related content.
While the plot for the story is intriguing, the execution is a little disappointing. The writing reads like a first draft, lacking sensory detail. While characters enter different locations, there is limited detail of what the environment looks like, smells like, feels like. The characters are mostly left shallow and ambiguous. The details are left completely up to the readers imagination, with little direction from the writer.
Dusty's character is off putting. He is supposed to be the leader of the vampire slaying organization, but is easily angered and driven to tears. He childishly demands respect, while displaying few reasons why his subordinated should trust him with their lives. His frequent bouts of tears and whining leave no confidence that he could be a realistic vampire hunter, let alone a realistic leader.
Thalos is somewhat better as a character. A self proclaimed romantic, his actions are a little more believable, even if his attachment to Dusty is unfounded. While Dusty's attachment to Thalos is expected due to being "cursed" by Thalos as a child, Thalos never says that he felt a similar absence for Dusty while they were separated for those many years.
The series receives an "it was okay" marking because it is easy to see where the story could have been awesome. If the readers' imagination is up to filling in some enormous gaps while suspending some serious disbelief, it's an okay story.

Quand je m’ennuie ou que je dois passer du temps, en général je finis par lire du M/M et là oh bonheur, le jour-même Jinxx m’avait prêté son exemplaire de Vampire Slave. Ce roman BIT-LIT avec une touche de M/M me fait de l’oeil depuis sa sortie française et il faut avouer que Yamila Abraham est une des auteures M/M et yaoi les plus réputés actuellement.
Vampire Slave, comme l’indique son titre, est un roman sur des vampires qui sont poursuivis par les chasseurs de Vampire Poison. Il n’est pas simple d’être un vampire, surtout pour le plus âgé de tous. Thalos est le créateur de la race et est une créature singulière, à part. J’ai accroché à sa personnalité étonnante et qui est totalement anti-vampire : romantique, doux, généreux et amoureux des humains. De son côté Dusty, le jeune éphèbe qu’aime le vampire et qui est à la tête des chasseurs, m’a semblé fade. Il est trop manipulé par les autres et ses sentiments, agaçant au possible.
Dans les personnages secondaires se démarquent bien évidemment le grand méchant charismatique : Johann. Il est sombre, vicieux, malsain et violent, et pourtant… il est pas exploité à son maximum. Luka, la directrice de l’école des vampires et amie de Thalos, est une bien étrange vampire, assez réfléchie et sensible. Côté humain, Dalton est le seul qui tire son épingle du jeu et qui a réellement de l’importance de bout en bout.
Bien qu’il y ait pas mal de potentiel dans l’histoire et surtout sur l’idée de la création des vampires, j’ai trouvé le tout commun, sans dire que le côté M/M n’était pas assez mis en avant. La romance est assez plate, au plan secondaire et pourrait tout aussi bien ne pas exister. L’écriture de Yamila Abraham est agréable, elle gère bien l’action et les scènes de combats, mais cela n’efface pas que cela aurait pu être « plus »… Un M/M sans réelle saveur mais un BIT-LIT intéressant.

This is for the whole 5 of the series. The way I feel about this serial was that it was.... Stupid!! that was my first thought, serious waste of time. I'm surprised I hated this story so much as I tend to really like most of this author's works, smh I'm very dissappointed with this thou. The MC's were frustrating in their own stupid ways, I disliked Dusty the most with his arrogant bratty immature wishy washy ( the list could go on forever) behavior & don't get me started on Thelos doormat weak pathetic clingy... ugh put up with crap behavior being the most powerful vampire creator!!! I felt like I was reading a story written by a 12 year old middle school girl!!! Staaay away from this total waste of time junk. Sorry Yamila but this was beyond dissapointing, you can do waaay better than this & I will still look to some more of your stories & chance that I'll either like, love or completely hate them like this one, because..... despite all of this I still believe in yooouuu!!!

Now I see why the ending cut off at the end. I had to buy the second book to know what happens, though I am really enjoying reading thus from in the series.
