Beloved Vampire by Joey W. Hill

3.0

Rating 3.25/5

This book is really well written
I loved how deep the character development was. We could see how Jes's psyche started to heal and how her attachment to Farida's story, which was what saved her, could also be a shackle in the long run. A crutch that helps you to stand at first, but prevent you to walk again on your own leg if used too long. And same with Mason. I really appreciated how protective he was and how he really learned to care for her. And it was nice to see how he was able to free himself from Farida's memory, who was a shackle for him as well. And I like how they did that, without however disgarding her importance in their life or forgetting about her. Just learning to move on. However, given Jess' past it also made even more annoyed by the fact that she would be his servants.

Their relationship just wasn't good enough to make me forget the pile of shit that it's the position of a servant. If anything, given the FL situation it just make it worse that she returns to be one. Something that is truly made clear in the later part of the story.

Warning: in this series Vampires are attracted by both men and women, altough they may have a preference. Furthermore servants themselves often have sexual scenes with people of the same sex. Sometimes, they don't really have an attraction for the opposite sex but are still "aroused" by the fact that in this way they pleasure their "Master/Mistress". Other ther times they actually are attracted by people of the same sex. This means that you can have M/M scenes, F/F scenes or threesomes (FMF, MFM). In this book there are MFM sex scenes and also F/F. Jess in particular is bisexual, so there are situation in this book where she is attracted by women.
