Title: Sweet Oblivion 2: Snare
Author: Jordan Castillo Price
Publisher: Changeling Press
Publisher URL: http://www.changelingpress.com/
ISBN: 978-1-59596-388-8
Genre: Paranormal/Vampire/Gay
Rating: 3 Nymphs
Literary Nymphs Reviewer: Satyr Vael
For Michael, a gift of a cell phone from his sister brings with it worries of family. They want him closer, but Michael has his doubts. Unfortunately, with the re-emergence of an old ‘friend,’ Michael has his hands full with much more than mere family matters. Jim, the vampiric scientist, wants their help to catch a wild vampire.
Snare brings back Jim, the exceptionally creepy vampire scientist who sometimes seems better off in the looney bin. His actions and personality lean sharply toward madness at times, and it’s clear from the exchanges between him and Michael, and him and Bill, that Michael and Bill feel the same.
The depth of emotion between Bill and Michael is clear in especially one scene. At one point, Bill even seems to possess a bit of vulnerability. It was a surprise, but a pleasant one in comparison to his bad-boy image.
Snare is a good installment in this series, but it didn’t quite hold me as strongly as the first book. It’s well-written (as all of Price’s stories are), but this one seemed a bit more like an interlude to something bigger. I’m looking forward to seeing where the next installment in this series leads.
