Celia Kyle #fridayreads - Technically Dead by @tiafielding
Here’s my first #fridayreads!
Now, this isn’t a “review” per se. Friday Reads is about what I’ve read this week (yes, I read that much) and loved. Since I tend to read genres I enjoy and books whose excerpts snagged me, it’s kind of a given that I’ll like a book.
This week I snagged Technically Dead by Tia Fielding which was released on 7/20/12 by Dreamspinner Press.
This is my recap of the real blurb:
So, our hero (#1 Brandon Roland) is kicked to the curb by the ‘rents when he came out. Assholes. Anyway. Then, our super-hawt vampire hero (#2 Heath) rescues him when some thugs decide to use him as a punching bag. We’re happy, right? Wrong. Heath kicks him out after a year. Bitchy, but it turned out to be a good thing.
‘Cause 12 years later, he’s a social worker at a vamp/human kid’s shelter (teens-ish) and making the world a better place for vamp and human kind. He’s still missing Heath, hard core, and gets a tattoo of a leaf (hence the vines on the cover) at the anniversary of him getting kicked to the curb.
Now, Heath is uber old. Like, old. And got ze freaked when he started having real feelings for Brandon way back when. Hence the kickage. But now…now he’s run into Brandon again (literally) and he’s thinking he got it all wrong. So, they reconnect. But THEN, Heath’s history (long history, remember?) catches up to them. Dum, dum, dum….
/end recap
OMG Awesome. It’s cut into a few parts, signifying big events in Brandon’s life and it really helps it all fit together. We’re taken through Bran’s emotions, dealing with human/vamp issues, love and general make-it-through-life stuff. Its a complete and utterly engrossing novel, something you’ll read and be fully satisfied with when you reach “the end”. There’s some GREAT secondary characters and a nice contrast in how baby vamps learn how to be vamps. You know, the “normal” turning stuff is all “you’re awake and have teeth!”. This isn’t like that. It goes into difficulties and how changing really affects the turned and how it affects relationships.
So, overall, I’ll repeat that it’s OMG Awesome.
