Paranoia

by Damien Richard

The night Patrick was reborn as a vampire he had tasted ecstasy in the form of little Jimmy Stilton. Jim was just a boy then. Years passed, and Patrick has finally found him again. The boy was a delicacy Patrick could never forgot. Jim may be a man now, but could Patrick capture the taste again? He must find out.

Trust has never been a part of Jim's world. At least not until Caitlin entered his life. With love on the horizon, life looks good for the first time in Jim's life, that is until his own personal demon catches up to him. Jim’s paranoia might keep him alive, but at what cost?

W.O.W.! I picked up the first book Newborn because I really wanted to invest some time in a good old vampire story which I really haven't done or enjoyed since Anne Rice. But this series takes everything I loved about vampires and character-driven stories and brings it all home. In the first book we got an intro to Eldon and Jonah and Jimmy but this continues their story with the emotional depth of character and really gets you invested in Jimmy (Jim) as an adult. It's probably a great stand-alone but I highly recommend reading Newborn first so you get the full picture of what's happening here. I can't wait for the next instalment. The VanCityVampires series has given me hope that vampires can be terrifying and evil again. The dark foreboding cityscape makes for an incredible setting and you feel the story building to a climatic finale. I can't wait to read more.
