Sweet Oblivion 5: Elixir by Jordan Castillo Price – review    Comments Off

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ 


Title: Sweet Oblivion 5: Elixir
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Paranormal/vampires
URL: Changeling Press
Price:US $4.49
Other Information/warnings: Violence, explicit m/m, gore and graphic medical details
Summary [from the publisher]:
Wild Bill and Michael might have thought they made it out of the subterranean vampire nest unscathed, but in her anger, Silk left Michael a taste of her wrath that’s impossible to shake.

It’s a race against time to cure Michael of a bizarre affliction, and though the hunter and his favorite vamp have few enough friends, Bill can’t ash a cigarette without burning another bridge. Now Wild Bill must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice to save his lover.

His friends? His scruples? His pride?

His humanity?

Hemovore by Jordan Castillo Price – review    Comments Off

Rating: ★★★★★★★★½☆ 


Title: Hemovore
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Paranormal (vampires), mystery
URL: Samhain Publishing
Price: US $5.50
Other Information/warnings: Gore, violence, explicit m/m, animal abuse
Summary [from the publisher]:
Ten years ago, the Human Hemovore Virus blazed through the world, and left the few victims who survived unable to eat, allergic to sunlight and craving the taste of blood.
Mark Hansen used to think V-positives were incredibly sexy with their pale, flawless skin and taut, lean bodies. Not anymore. Not since he’s been stuck procuring under-the-counter feline blood for his control-freak boss, Jonathan Varga. Why cat blood? Mark has never dared to ask.
It’s not as if he’s usually at a loss for words. He can dish an insult and follow it with a snap as quick as you can say “Miss Thang”. But one look at Jonathan’s black-as-sin gypsy eyes, and Mark’s objections drain away.
So he endures their strange, endless routine: Jonathan hiding in his studio, painting solid black canvases. Mark hurling insults as he buffs the office to a shine with antiviral wipes and maps out the mysterious “routes” he’s required to drive.
Then a blurb in Art in America unleashes a chain of events neither of them saw coming. As secrets of Jonathan’s past come to light, it becomes clear all his precautions weren’t nearly enough.

Sweet Oblivion 3: Fluid by Jordan Castillo Price – review    Comments Off

Rating: ★★★★★★★★½☆ 


Title: Sweet Oblivion 3: Fluid
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Paranormal (vampires)
URL: Changeling Press
Price: US $4.49
Other Information/warnings: Violence, explicit m/m, kink (exhibitionism)
Summary [from the publisher]:
It’s been a couple of decades since Wild Bill has been able to savor the bite of an ice-cold, freshly tapped keg. Twenty-odd years since the shivery pucker of a cheap, boxed wine has assaulted his palate. But that doesn’t mean Bill’s forgotten how to party.

Wild Bill and Michael have holed up in a week-to-week hotel in an iffy Milwaukee neighborhood, and even though it’s been a year or two, the fringe art happenings are just as edgy as Bill remembers.

There’s a girl covered in frosting in the middle of the hors d’ouvres table, and she’s begging them to dip. And the host of the party wants to lure them into the range of his mechanical eye. It’s all fun and games, until a tryst turns deadly.

Sweet Oblivion 2: Snare by Jordan Castillo Price – review    Comments Off

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★★ 


Title: Sweet Oblivion 2: Snare
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Vampire/horror
URL: Changeling Press
Price: US $4.49
Other Information/warnings: Blood play, explicit m/m, violence
Summary [from the publisher]:

With summer ending and temperatures dipping low at night, Michael’s eager to get his leather jacket back, and although Wild Bill could easily vamp any sales clerk into giving Michael some new duds, it wouldn’t be quite the same as the jacket he left at his parents’ house. Not unless the malls have begun selling clothing with Rohypnol and ketamine sewn into the seams.

The return of the jacket comes with a price: a new cell phone from Michael’s parents. Surprisingly, Wild Bill encourages Michael to keep the phone. After all, Michael wouldn’t want to be the only twenty-one-year-old in the world without one. Seems innocent enough… right?

But you never know where an innocent gift will lead. Michael worries the phone may be some shiny bait, meant to lure him closer to his family, and then, college. Everyone seems so intent on getting Michael to enroll, but he’s busy looking to catch a vampire…

Sweet Oblivion 1: Brazen by Jordan Castillo Price – review    Comments Off

Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 


Title: Sweet Oblivion 1: Brazen
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Paranormal, vampires
URL: Changeling Press
Price: US $4.49
Other Information/warnings: Threesome, blood play, explicit m/m
Summary [from the publisher]:
It’s a sultry July night, and Wild Bill is content. It’s deliciously warm outside, the fireworks are about to start, a whole pint of freshly-tapped blood is on the menu, and his boyfriend hasn’t murdered anyone in months.

Too bad Bill’s contentment isn’t shared by Michael, who’s tired of his own lack of experience. He hints that a new lover in their bed might broaden his horizons. Their first encounter might have been a threesome, but it certainly didn’t end well for the third participant.

Even now, Bill can’t seem to shake the memory of the hickory stake protruding from the chest of his old nemesis. Lust wars with guilt as Wild Bill tries to figure out how to bury his past, once and for all.

Channeling Morpheus: Rebirth by Jordan Castillo Price – review    1 comment

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ 

Title: Channeling Morpheus: Rebirth
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Vampire/paranormal
URL: Changeling Press
Price: US $4.49
Other Information/warnings: Violence, blood, graphic m/m.
Summary:
Michael has never put much stock in clichés, but there’s one he probably should have listened to: You can never go home again.

His family assures him that plenty of young people take a few semesters off between high school and college, that a year of travel is practically a prerequisite nowadays. Somehow Michael’s neglected to mention he’s not just driving around aimlessly, stopping only to have sex with his chain-smoking boyfriend — he’s hunting vampires.

After a disastrous family reunion, Michael unearths a vampire commune where he and Wild Bill can settle down. But Michael is the only human in residence, and the other vampires can’t stop themselves from sniffing around him. In the words of Wild Bill, “This can’t be good.”

Channeling Morpheus series by Jordan Castillo Price – review    1 comment

Rating: ★★★★★★★★★☆ 

Title: Channeling Morpheus series
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Vampire/paranormal
URL: Changeling Press
Price: $3.49 for the first two of the four novellas in the series, Payback and Vertigo, $3.99 for the last two, Mannikin and Tainted.
Other Information/warnings: Violence, blood play, dubious consent, graphic m/m.
Summary:
Michael is a vampire hunter after vampires who don’t just stop at feeding on humans. Wild Bill is a vampire who doesn’t want to get entangled with any human, least of all a hunter all too comfortable with killing his kind, even if it’s just the bad guys. But Michael and Bill have an attraction which transcends all their barriers and reluctance, so the only question now is – how the hell do they make it work?

Secrets: a Psycop novella by Jordan Castillo Price – review    1 comment

Rating: ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 

Title: Secrets: a Psycop novella
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Genre: Detective, mystery, paranormal
URL: Lulu
Price: US$5.99
Other Information/warnings: violence, noncon (not graphic), explicit m/m, bad language
Summary [from the author]:
Victor Bayne’s job as a PsyCop involves tracking down dead people and getting them to spill their guts about their final moments. It’s never been fun, per se. But it’s not usually this annoying.
Vic has just moved in with his boyfriend Jacob, he can’t figure out where anything’s packed, and his co-worker is pressuring him to have a housewarming party.
Can’t a guy catch a break?
On a more sinister note, Vic discovers there’s absolutely no trace of him online. No trace of anyone else who trained at “Camp Hell,” either.
Everyone Vic knows has signed a mysterious set of papers to ensure his “privacy.” The contracts are so confidential that even Vic has never heard of them. But Jacob might have.
What other secrets has Jacob been keeping?

Body and Soul by Jordan Castillo Price – review    Comments Off

Title: Body and Soul (third in the Psycop series)

Author: Jordan Castillo Price

Genre: Detective, mystery, paranormal

URL: Torquere Press

Price: US $3.95

Other Information/warnings: horror, gore, ghosts, explicit m/m

Summary:

Policeman Vic has yet another new partner at work, but the really scary thing in his life is spending Thanksgiving with Jacob’s family. The domesticity of the holiday is followed by a little light house-hunting, and it’s a relief to get the call to go back to work.

The urgent case means that Vic and company have a serial kidnapper on their hands, and it will take every resource they have, and every bit of their talent, to solve the mystery.
