Cairo Catwalk

Vampire's Lair #2

by A.J. Ryan

Love is dangerous. Life is fleeting. And the choices we make can last an Eternity. On a photo shoot in Cairo, lovelorn American model Nash Sommers harbors a secret lust for his handsome and confident colleague Ryan Thomas. When a drunken evening leads them to Cairo's coolest nightclub, the two young men decide to explore the undiscovered pleasures of their relationship with the inclusion of a third party-a handsome, mysterious young Egyptian who lures them away from the nightclub... ...and into the dark realms of the City of the Dead. There, deep within a secret tomb, Nash's languishing lust for Ryan will be put to the ultimate test in the presence of a dark and ancient Egyptian vampire, the evil Ramseth. Will the young Americans be seduced by sin? Will passion and pride lead to eternal punishment? Will the one thing Nash desires most be his doom?

A.J. Ryan, the same author who penned the Fathom’s Five series under the name of Geoffrey Knight, has the ability to mix comedy with adventure and, in this specific case, horror, but in any case, the output is light and bright, even if it’s the bright red of fresh blood!

A.J. Ryan’s characters are always over the top, always stunning and handsome, always extraordinary. In this novella we have Ryan and Nash, two male top models involved in a special catwalk in Egypt. It’s not the first time they work together, and between them the steam sizzles, and it’s not a consequence of the hot weather. It’s not clearly said, but nor Ryan or Nash profess themselves “gay”, but they don’t mind to be able to appreciate male beauty and between the two of them there is a lot to appreciate. Ryan teases Nash and Nash is up to take the teasing and turn it in something more, but right when they probably are ready to take the next step in their relationship, Ryan and Nash are involved in a more dangerous games, with a mysterious man.

For Eternal Press, A.J. Ryan has created two series, the Darcy Boys and the Vampire’s Lair Series; I prefer the first one, it’s an all around full comedy; the two novella I read in the Vampire’s Lair series are for sure good, but maybe a bit too much dark for my own personal taste. Said that, if you are searching a good vampire novella, I think that the Vampire’s Lair series is on a “classical” track, the vampires here are really dangerous and deadly, they are not the romance heroes so common in today paranormal literature. And this is even more highlight by the fact that instead, A.J. Ryan’s men are fashionable and chic, all sleek muscles and coiffeured hair, living a life where appearance is more important than substance.
