Blog Tour: Rosedale the Vampyre by Lev Raphael (Review)





About the Book



Grief-stricken by his wife’s untimely death, a wealthy New York banker turns to sexual abandon in the bordellos of 1907 New York. Then one fateful night, after a mysterious attack, he dies to his old life and is reborn a Vampyre. Once obsessed solely with making money and social advancement, he’s now driven by a new, perverse hunger for blood. Written in a period voice, this deeply erotic work takes us into dark corners of the psyche as it explores a secret world of power and obsession.





My thoughts

This book pulled me in with the very first page.  I was completely drawn into this book and finished it in one sitting.  It's a short read and left me wanting much much more.  Rosedale is a tortured character and readers can truly feel his pain.  I hope there will be more books about Rosedale as I can easily see this turning into a series, if it hasn't already.
