When the world thought nothing could be as devastating as HIV, HHV (Human Hemovore Virus) proves just how wrong they were. The new virus takes over in stages and the result, if you survive, is a liquid diet of blood and an allergic reaction to the sun.
Mark Jensen has worked for painter Jonathan Varga for four years. Four years was enough time for Mark to toss the rose-colored glasses he used to view V-positives through to the ground for a thorough stomping session. However, the connection he feels for Jonathan has blossomed into love. Mark is sure his boss is hiding something, but decides to chalk the mysteriousness up as part of Jonathan’s tortured artist-type persona. He will soon discover the seriousness and danger lurking just within reach. Will Mark survive this ordeal?
Hemovore takes us into the lives of Jonathan and Mark, two men propelled by two very different agendas. Mark has seen a side of V-positives that most aren’t privy to, but it hasn’t stopped him from pining away for Jonathan. Actually, it is the fear of contracting the virus that prevents him acting upon his desires. Momma always said “Babe, watch those quiet men”. Well there is definitely more to the artist than meets the eye, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover it all. The two make a great couple, Mark’s wit - Jonathan’s Money, Mark’s sassiness – Jonathan’s class, Mark’s style – Jonathan’s grace, it was like watching the making of a power couple. Jordan Castillo Price pounced on the idea of making a simple vampire love story with this unusual but compelling romance. The story is unlike any I’ve ever read about vampires. Hemovore contains a solid plot, intriguing characters, a suspenseful mystery, and enough satire to absorb the tiniest specks melancholy lingering behind. The story is a winner and I recommend it to those who enjoy the genre.
