MUST READ FOR YAOI FANS....
17 July 2007
By Tipawan
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Soul of the Night is an outstanding work of yaoi literature produced in the west (and) contains top notch black and white illustrations!
The kabuki troupe's magic depends on the physical transformation of the
eternally youthful vampire, Kiyoshi, into a woman.
Kiyoshi's origins were revealed in BLOOD BROTHERS.
[...].
Both on the stage and in the bedroom, Kiyoshi is loved by Nakamura
Ryuhei a skillful but aging actor. Parallel to Kiyoshi's
metamorphosis from man to woman, with the aid of makeup and costume, is
his descent from a blood drinker in control of his urges to a
ruthless predator thirsting for the essence of Dao Kan Shu, the
Poisoned Dragon.
Kiyoshi has to choose between his loyalty to Ryuhei or the primal
urge to consume the Dragon, Shu, and risk losing his humanity anchored by
love.
Ryuhei's greatest fear is loneliness. Ironically, the infamous and
most desired actor was once surrounded by infinite crowds and
admirers---but all he wants is to have his gentle Kiyoshi back. As the actor's beloved sinks farther into the shadows of San Francisco, Nakamura's resolve may push him to offer more than just his love.
Although my review may seem "serious" Soul of the Night's
greatest charm is its unexpected laugh out loud humor!!! There are
back stage feuds between Nakamura and "that bitch" Hoshi, another
actor. Oh, don't assume that our loveable Nakamura is an angel
either, Akira, Hoshi's partner, calls Nakamura a "fussy dick" for a
reason.
Most importantly, you'll get what you want---hot man sex (^_^)

I Really Wanted to Like This Book
19 Dec 2007
By Sires
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book had a very intriguing opening. A vampire and a ghoul meet over a couple of dead bodies in an alley in San Francisco. They part and I wanted to know what happened to lead up to this meeting and what was going to come of it. Instead the authors take me back to mid 19th century Japan. Ok still interesting. A drunken nearly out of work actor hiding from something in his past leaves a tavern excoriating the saki he has just drank. He is not particularly likeable as a character but apparently the vampire sees something to like about him because it isn't took long before they are engaging in graphic sex.
I couldn't believe in the sudden lust though. I couldn't see what the vampire saw in the nearly out of work actor. Although we are told he is graceful and previously a good actor he seems to show not even the hint of those qualities. And surprisingly, the descriptions of the act did not ring true to me as m/m sex. The language was so vague that it could have been het sex if the authors hadn't been told me it was two guys.
M/m roamnces can be incredibly sweet, the sex can be incredibly hot. But this book just did not work for me at all on either a story level or an erotic level.
I did like the cover although I'm not a manga fan. (I kept wondering if there was something about the manga conventions that I was not getting that was keeping me from giving myself to the story but in that case I would still have to rate it at 2 stars for being inaccesible.)

It was ok

This story left a little to be desired. The story at one point got a pathetic. I only gave it three stars because it was a little sweet. But have you ever read a book that you felt related to a robot, you know no feelings? Well I could not get into the main character on this one. It felt like a robot was telling the story, no feelings at all. It was descriptive enough but leaves you with a feeling of "something was missing but you're not sure what specifically."
