Extended description

Like every other geek alive, Newfoundland native Joseph O’Reily secretly wants to be a superhero. At thirteen he fantasized about being a vampire, and ten years later he’s still fantasizing – but mostly about a beautiful redheaded woman who has eyes only for him. The one thing different about Joseph’s adult fantasy is that, amazingly, it comes true one night when he goes to a local university pub. Cassandra Snow, literally the woman of his dreams, invites him to her place for an evening of personal pleasure. Of course he’s not going to say no. But when strange things start happening afterward, Joseph quickly learns that not all dreams should come true.

Cassandra has plans for him – forever. And those plans don’t include daytime activities.

Ok people. The old adage "don`t judege a book by its cover" has never been more applicable. The title and cover art of this novel are, well, horrid. But the book itself is a fun read!

The author gives his own touches to the large cannon of vampire fiction, which is refreshing. O'Keefe's writing style has a nice flow and the historical elements add a depth to the storyline giving it legs to travel on should he decide to continue following these characters in other novels.

This is a great summer book for sunny afternoons at the beach and relaxing on the deck with a cold beverage! So go get it....just don`t look at the cover.
