This is a good collection of stories about dancing with the devil and paying your dues. You never know just who you will meet and just what a deal will end up being. Never strike a bargain with someone you do not know for if you do chances are you will regret everything. Each of these stories brings the reader into a wondrous world where nothing is what it seems, and nothing is easy.  You are treated to so many different men that you would not see as heroes yet that is what they seem to be. Fighting for what is right and fighting for survival is what they do.  You will travel back in time, visit Wonderland, visit the world of dreams, visit with monsters, find out just what harm a favor can do, and even the church is not left out. There is such a plethora of ideas in these stories you are bound to find one or more to your liking.

I really enjoyed each of these stories. As with any collections there were ones that I liked more but I think that all of these stories are good reads. The authors do a great job of weaving wondrous worlds that you can sink into and enjoy. Each and every story pulled me in so much that after it was over, I wanted more from the world and I hope that the authors take a chance again on these characters and give readers more from them. The characters and their worlds are well written, and the stories range from light hearted to intense. They are full of emotions and depth that endeared each one to this listener. This anthology is engaging, and narrator Greg Tremblay does a great job of making the audio book entertaining. His cadence throughout the stories is good and keeps the reader in the story and engaged.

This is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book.

CLICK TO PURCHASE Ten years ago, a virus named the Human Hemovore Virus, ravaged through the populations and those that survived turned became very different. They craved blood, hated sunlight and couldn’t stomach regular food. Now several years later, V-positives are the norm and Mark Jensen used to think they were sexy things until he started working for Jonathan Varga, a V-positive who wants black market feline blood and shuns society to hole up in his studio. Mark has wanted Jonathon for years but Jonathon’s secrets are about to explode and Mark may find that Jonathon is very different from what he seems to be.

Hemovore is the first book I’ve read from Jordan Castillo Price and it was one I couldn’t put down. Full of intriguing characters, a fast paced storyline and tight writing had me enthralled as the reader got to know Mark, his friends and his mysterious boss, Jonathan. The way Mark interacts with some secondary characters had me sputtering in laughter, shaking my head in disbelief and longing to know more as I turned the page quickly. Just a note that this has some gay-lesbian scenes that may not appeal to everyone.

Meet Mark Jenson, a man who used to think the V-positives were sexy as hell but since starting to work with Jonathon Varga, he is rethinking that thought. With some great dialogue between Mark and Jonathan plus a host of secondary characters that intrigued me, this author created a world that may happen one day in the future and delivered it with a bow to readers to enjoy. With a rich storyline to explore, the reader gets lost in this creation and I know I was itching for more after the last page was read.

HEMOVORE is a wild ride from start to finish with multi-dimensional characters and plot twists that leave you with your jaw hanging to the ground as you scramble to see what happens next. If you enjoy a unique new look into the possible future, then grab HEMOVORE and get ready for a wild ride. I am looking forward to exploring more of this author’s works and hope you do as well.
