Interesting paranormal variation on Sleeping Beauty. We have the sorcerer who is supposed to lift a curse form the glass coffin, and the vampire who is supposed not to love a human. Combine the two, add a villain after the sorcerer's power, and you get quite a fun tale about the power of true love.

Rostislav, the sorcerer, is the kind of man who will not easily change his mind. He believes certain things, and the fact that vampires do not love humans is one of them, and he will not be swayed. Even with evidence right in front of his nose he has a hard time...

Jesse is a tough vampire, and he knows he will face consequences (which ones we, regretfully, never find out) if he deviates from accepted vampire etiquette and falls for a human. Being who he is, though, he couldn't care less. He is used to getting what he wants, and to people and lesser vampires obeying him, and falling for Rostislav and wanting more with him is no exception.

If you like fairy tales retold in a different, well-developed world, if you enjoy supernatural stories, and if you're looking for a quick read with a bit of mystery and a twist, you will probably enjoy this short book. ( )

3.5 stars. Need to peek through the other stories - was distracted trying to remember what came before. ( )
