He’s her neighbor, and he’s older. It’s wrong. Especially because he’s a vampire.
Oh, sure, Sepha knows that vampires don’t exist. They can’t! But something about Alexis Rex Sutton just isn’t quite right. No one’s ever caught so much as a glimpse of him before sunset. He knows far, far too much about history. He talks about the Victorian era, not like someone with a passion for the subject but like someone who was there. And there are rumors, terrible rumors….
Refined and handsome, he nevertheless awakens a primitive instinct deep within her.
P.J. Fox published her first story when she was ten. Between then and the present moment, she detoured to, in no particular order, earn several degrees (including a law degree), bore everyone she knew with lectures about medieval history, get married, and start a family. She realized, ultimately, that she had to make a go of this writing thing because nothing else would ever make her happy.
I love P.J. Fox's work, but not this one. There's no danger or sense of danger. This is a very long exposé on 37 yr olds dating 17 yr olds, and it didn't work. Sepha was supposed to be mature for her age but her dialogue didn't make her seem so. Instead,she was the girl who says "oh" way too often. I liked Alex and I could understand what he was looking for, but a 17 yr old (especially because he's more like 137). So it boils down to Sepha's weak dialogue. I think she was meant to be strong, accomplished and independent, but she just didn't come across that way. I had to DNF at 73%, when Sepha stomps her foot and says, "but I'm not a child " to her mother when she's caught in PDA with Alex. I wanted to reach through my kindle and smack her
