    			  I love reading stories with blind characters. Probably sounds odd to say but I love stories where a main character has one disability or another. In the hands of a master craftsman like <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1200273.Mychael_Black" title="Mychael Black">Mychael Black</a> these characters are as seductive as their &quot;able-bodied&quot; counterparts.<br/><br/><blockquote><em><strong>Summary:</strong> Master Ian Vaughn and his sub Kale Daniels are back for more in this sequel to Onyx.<br/><br/>Both men are happy together, playing and living like any other Dom and sub. For Kale, though, it goes much deeper than that. He's fallen in love with his Master, but he has no idea how Ian feels about him. When Ian books them a private playroom at a new club, Kale is thrilled to find out all his Master has in store. And Ian has a few surprises that Kale never expects to receive.</em></blockquote><br/><br/><strong>What I liked about this book:</strong> I love quick reads with hot, steamy sex scenes interspersed between romantic interludes. I love quick reads that have the characters in a committed relationship in the BDSM world with a healthy relationship. I love quick reads that have &quot;imperfect&quot; characters. In short, I love <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1200273.Mychael_Black" title="Mychael Black">mychael black</a>'s quick reads... long reads... in-between reads... all of them! :D<br/><br/><blockquote><strong>Excerpt:</strong> Ian's hand slipped down between teir bodies and into the back of Kale's leather pants. His hole was still slick and Ian's fingers slid right in, making Kale whimper and grind. &quot;That's it... Ride them, Kale. Imagine my cock inside you, thrusting hard and deep while I tug you back with the laces.&quot;<br/><br/>&quot;Oh, God. Sir. I can't... Oh, fuck...&quot; Kale gasped and jerked as Ian added a third finger, somehow angling all three deep. Kale struggled not to let on to anyone around them just what Ian was doing, but he couldn't have been still if his life depended on it. &quot;Sir. Please. I need to come. Oh, God...&quot;<br/><br/>&quot;So close,&quot; Ian hissed, spreading all three fingers and opening Kale's hole. Kale forgot where they were, forgot they weren't alone. He arched and shuddered, his cock pulsing in his pants as Ian finger-fucked him. Behind him, Ian growled. &quot;Get up. We're going back to the room.&quot;</blockquote>

    			  Well, I've stuck it out for three books with Darren and I'm actually enjoying the ride. While I don't normally enjoy whiny main characters, there's something about Darren (perhaps his keen intellect) that keeps you coming back for more.<br/><br/><blockquote><em><strong>Summary:</strong> Darren Shan, the vampire's assistant, gets a taste of the city when he leaves the Cirque Du Freak with Evra the snake-boy and Mr. Crepsley. When corpses are discovered drained of blood, Darren and Evra are compelled to confront a foul creature of the night who may prove to be the end of them all.</em></blockquote><br/><br/><strong>What I liked about this book:</strong> Darren is an enigma. He hates his lot, his likes his powers, he hates Mr. Crepsley, he likes Mr. Crepsley. He likes Madame Octa, he hates Madame Octa. In other words, he's your typical teenager with a see-saw of emotions that are now heightened by his vampiric powers. In this book, we meet Murlough who in the movie was kind of creepy and scary but wore the pirate-looking costume that Darren wears throughout the book. Darren meets his first crush, learns about the Vampaneze and comes face to face with evil. I love that you're on an adventure from the get-go and while the book paces along quickly, you don't lose yourself in the characters or the story.<br/><br/>My favorite parts, of course, are those with Darren and Evra. Best friends who pretend to be brothers traveling with their &quot;father&quot; Mr. Crepsley into a city that gives them an opportunity to bond, be teenagers and meet more humans. Of course, that also means danger for the pair but it gives them an opportunity to test that friendship too. Instead of a girl coming between them, an evil psychopath does. But hey, what's another monster in a world of freaks, right?<br/><br/>I'm enjoying the series so far. I will say that if I'd read the books then gone seen the movie, I would've been really pissed off! LOL

    			  If I had read the books and then gone to see the movie, I would have been very disappointed that Sam never made it to the big screen and that he was replaced by a monkey girl that so far, does not exist in canon (mind you, I'm only 2 books in).<br/><br/><blockquote><em><strong>Summary:</strong> Darren Shan was just an ordinary schoolboy - until his visit to the Cirque Du Freak. Now, as he struggles with his new life as a Vampire's Assistant, he tries desperately to resist the one temptation that sickens him, the one thing that can keep him alive. But destiny is calling... the Wolf Man is waiting.</em></blockquote><br/><br/><strong>What I liked about this book:</strong> The story picks up right where <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/search/search?q= A Living Nightmare" title=" A Living Nightmare"> A Living Nightmare</a> left off. While I'm still a bit miffed about a few editorial misgivings in the book, these didn't keep me from reading, which is always a good thing.<br/><br/>As Darren struggles with his humanity and losing his childhood in the process, he's faced with more blood and gore and a tragedy that forever changes him. I like that death is not masked at all in these books and when the proverbial <s>crap</s> blood hits the fan, it's done in vivid technicolor and <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5816.Darren_Shan" title="Darren Shan">Darren Shan</a> spares no one from it!<br/><br/>The story is definitely keeping me intrigued. Hopefully it does so for the full dozen.<br/>
