The Vampire

Marlon Byrne was born long ago in a distant country, but for close to a century he’s been buried deep in the ground in the small town of Occident. He’d grown lonely, and the prospect of living out his existence with a mate was too hard to ignore. Which is how he ended up in a grave in the cemetery.

Blake Miller has listened to his grandfather talk about the vampire buried with his treasure of gold for as long as he can remember. One night he enlists his friend Aaron, to finally put those stories to rest.

What they discover that night is far different than either of them imagined. Blake faces a series of unwanted events that he cannot resist and is helpless to ignore. The life he knows is over, but the alternative may cost him more than a little blood.

Wonderful story!

I truly loved this story. A mm vampire love story with some great characters and a couple unsavory ones. Through this book I was shown it’s important to meet the people who we love when we can and also to know it’s going to happen when it’s meant to. Life is important and we should always try to enjoy it. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves mm romance stories with some undead characters to add a little spice. The narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life in a manner of speaking.
