4.5⭐️ Daniel May’s writing is always fantastic and I love how each one of his books is vastly different from the rest.
This story was unlike any I’ve read. On the surface it’s a second-chance/forced-proximity romance between two centuries-old vampires who drifted apart long ago but are now brought back together, trapped in the underground catacombs, hunted by an unknown dangerous force.

Their personal story and renewed romance slowly unfolds in a very bizarre, dream-like way, shrouded in the horror of their surroundings with monsters and creatures.

I loved the constant push and pull of their anger/resentment toward one another mashed with their obvious underlying love that never truly went away. Just a beautiful, hauntingly-creepy story.



“As we walked — ascending from the narrow, cobbled avenues of the old market to the brutal face of the city proper, the blare of modern streets assailing us — I was as much thankful for Bonifacio’s presence as I yearned to fling him into traffic.”

“As far as my other options, well, I supposed there was loneliness, suicide, or imprisoning Cassio in an oversized birdcage and begging him to take me back until the seas rose, the sun burst, and hell froze over, for I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that no force on earth could compel my Cassiodorus to do that which he did not perform of his own volition. Damn him…
What if I bought him a pony?”
