The Vamp for Me: Part Two Don't Drink the Holy Water Being left for dead sure has a way of changing a man. All West wanted was one night of fun. He'd taken on the responsibility of raising his younger siblings after their parents died, had done so out of love, but he was a young man and he just wanted a chance to live like one for a few hours. It almost cost him his life. It certainly meant his life was changed forever, and along with his life, the lives of his siblings. They were all exposed to a secret world they'd never known existed. Vampires. Human children living alongside vampires...seemed unusual. Claude, the coven leader who saved West and his brothers and sisters, doesn't have accommodations for kids. He finds one coven in the country that does, and sets about making a home there for West and his family. Before he sends West away, West meets an intriguing man, Axel, whom he encounters again months later. The attraction between them is strong, but there is more to consider than just how sexy Axel is. Nothing in life is easy, whether you're a vampire or a human. The Trouble with Mirrors A little sass and a perfect ass can land a vamp in a sticky situation... Paolo has watched his friends and coven leader find mates, their other halves. He's ready to find someone just for him, though that means getting out and actually going somewhere. When his coven leader, Claude, asks him to help out with a bit of a spy mission, Paolo agrees. He puts on his sexiest—and skimpiest—club outfit and dives right in. But the mission brings him head to head with his coven's worst enemies, the Dark Slayers. And when he finds himself attracted to one who's about to be initiated against his will, Paolo can't resist helping the man out...and having some really hot sex while he's at it. Then the Dark Slayers find them... That's One Cross Vamp Death, taxes and vampires—the three certainties in Erin's life. Erin Meyers knows all about the existence of vampires. He's the guy who helped his twin brother Andrew find true love with the kilt-wearing Radney. Erin's used sex as a way to run from his emotions for a long time. It's become a habit that he's finally caught on to, and he's growing tired of it. In fact, he's growing tired too easily in general. A doctor's visit leaves him fearing for his life. When he encounters a friendly vamp he knows out at the club, Erin breaks his no-vamps rule and takes Jude home with him. Together, they burn up the sheets, and Erin finds himself willing to spend more than one night with Jude. Soon, a relationship blooms, but the bad news Erin gets might put an end to any dreams he had for the future.
Prominent examples from contemporary vampire literature expose a desire to re-evaluate and re-work the long-standing, folkloristic interpretation of the vampire as the immortal undead. This book explores the "new vampire" as a literary trope, offering a comprehensive critical analysis of vampires in contemporary popular literature and demonstrating how they engage with essential cultural preoccupations, anxieties, and desires. Drawing from cultural materialism, anthropology, psychoanalysis, literary criticism, gender studies, and postmodern thought, Piatti-Farnell re-frames the concept of the vampire in relation to a distinctly twenty-first century brand of Gothic imagination, highlighting important aesthetic, conceptual, and cultural changes that have affected the literary genre in the post-2000 era. She places the contemporary literary vampire within the wider popular culture scope, also building critical connections with issues of fandom and readership. In reworking the formulaic elements of the vampiric tradition — and experimenting with genre-bending techniques — this book shows how authors such as J.R. Ward, Stephanie Meyers, Charlaine Harris, and Anne Rice have allowed vampires to be moulded into enigmatic figures who sustain a vivid conceptual debt to contemporary consumer and popular culture. This book highlights the changes — conceptual, political and aesthetic — that vampires have undergone in the past decade, simultaneously addressing how these changes in "vampire identity" impact on the definition of the Gothic as a whole.

Except it almost got him killed. He's having a little trouble dealing with that, but he soon meets a man who makes him want to dream big and take chances.

But, he strived to be a good person, and that included accepting the offer to volunteer at a GLBTQ youth centre. He's nervous as hell, but Isaiah's determined to do what he can to help. Bae Allen Warren is a veterinarian with a mobile practice. It allows him more freedom than having an actual building he had to work out of.

But the leader, his grandfather, makes demands on Bae he can't ever fulfil for moral and other reasons. When Bae and Isaiah meet, it's instant attraction. They know they're mates, but there's so many obstacles in their way, not the least of which are the stalkers who seem determined to kidnap Bae.

He takes on one mural that holds special meaning for him—one for Ezra Harrington, owner of Quantum, Inc., and close friend to the injured original photographer of the Calendar Men shoot. What Felix didn't count on was meeting a man who turned his world around and brought something other than art to focus for him.
