Suck This - A.M. Riley Not sure how I feel after reading this story. It came right after the "Adam & Peter" series where the vampire element was distinctively wrapped around the story.

[spoiler ahead] In "Suck This, there was never any clear mention of what Vincent really was (the nickname Vinnie just makes me thinks of a kid, not full grown vampire). If you read the summary and are no stranger to this author, then the conclusion is obvious. Otherwise, except some allusive hints, you could just think Vincent was into kinky sex.

Carl's development throughout the story seemed quite natural. From closeted gay to out in the open about his feelings for Vincent. It was really a progressive evolution, from taking blowjobs in back allies, to renting a hotel room, to admitting his sexual preference in front of his best friend. Vincent, however, was a puzzle from the get-go. There was never any specific indication of his former life, liaisons and so on. There were just vague innuendos about what he did in his free time, what he was (vampire or not), how he came to be that way and act like that. And the ending with Carl, supposedly being turned to vampire, raised rather answered questions: what would Carl do, after quitting his job? What changes had they done to the club specifically and why? The list could go on.[end spoiler]

Overall, it was an ok story. But what dropped my rating was the series of questions it left behind and the incomplete portrayal of Vincent.
