John has been in prison for a long time. More than sixty years, in fact, yet he still looks under forty. Beth has only just arrived, and has no intention of staying. But Munson, their sadistic jailer, has plans for the two of them that give a new depth to the word “monstrous”...which is ironic, as John and Beth are both those monsters known as vampires, although they have very contradictory beliefs about how they became so. Can the two overcome their differences and work together to escape, and does John really want to? Can Beth be trusted? And is the world ready for them? John, Beth and Munson must discover their real natures, and then decide if they want to be true to them or to stay within their own particular cages.

Ok, first comment about this book: this cover is ugly! A monstrosity! Terrible! Garbage! .... (Can I use another adjectives to insult his cover? Any idea?). Why I bought it? The price... 3 dollars (oh yeah! Only 3 dollars! Maybe is the piece of crap of cover that make the seller put it at only 3 dollars?)

About the book

It's really short. The pdf file I bought at The fiction wise site has only 51 pages.
The story is really simple, as the characters and everything else of this book. Really a little shallow, and without something that would make me read it again.

John, is a vampire with 200 years old (and has been captive for the last 60 of his live). Beth is another vampire, put in his prison at the begin of the book. Munson is the human that keep they incarcerated (his father was the human that trap John).

No romance, no interesting turn of the facts, nothing that make this book worth of my 3 dollars.... my consolation? It's the price of a water bottle here on Milano, so, I could waste it.

ps: huge flop of the story... Beth speaking with John try to convince him that became a vampire is like take a disease (by the way, the beth explanation is the exact copy of the wonderful I Am Legend, shame of you Mister O'Connor!). Ok up to now... but then she say it's like AIDS's infection. Ok, think with me... John is trapped for 60 years... understand the huge flop? Yeah... she speaking of virus diseases like AIDS and John, a remarkable fortune-teller, never ask her "WTF! Stop! What are you talking about? AIDS?", no no... he knew AIDS... remarkable... maybe I'll try to find John and ask him the winner number of lottery! Certainly he know already regardless his incarceration and could give me! YEY!

1 star... (if I could I would give none at all)
