Poor boys, looking for their place in the world… But do they really need other people when they have each other?

The meeting with Michael’s family went as well as could be expected! ( )

I felt unsatisfied with a lot in this book but loved a lot. I've come to accept that I will never be satisfied with these books because these are two very inaccessibly people totally out of touch with their feelings; neither of them are able to appropriately express themselves about anything. Like Michael still has never told Wild Bill that he loves him even though Wild Bill has told him. Yet Michael says that Wild Bill is his everything. That feels beyond love to me, more like addiction, but it is obvious to me that he loves Wild Bill. Each time I finish one I find myself say, "Men!" and then I realize these were written by a woman and then I don't know whether to be impressed she captured dysfunctional men so well or to be ashamed that I think that being out-of-touch-with-feelings is gender-specific.

BTW, I HATE the default cover. I think it's ugly and unfair for such an amazingly gorgeous cover model to be portrayed that way. This cover, where we see him in profile, is my favorite cover of the series. I probably am not alone since they changed it for this newer edition. That man makes me drool. Yes, I can admit that part of my attraction to this kind of book is hunky boys especially if wearing guy-liner, although I feel faintly ill that I'm twice his age. ( )

Michael and Wild Bill are still together and still in love, but maybe the wandering life is starting to wear down Michael, and maybe, even if he would never admit it, also Wild Bill. And so this fifth chapter begins with Michael coming back home like the prodigal son: but what family, even if a loving one, would be happy to see their son throws away all the chance of a good and steady future? the gay news could be overcome, but the fact that Michael doesn't want to go to college is all another question.

And so Michael and Wild Bill are again on the street and since the chance with their natural family didn't go well, why not try with a vampire community? mmm, things are not easy, and maybe out two heroes are not fated to be a normal couple with a normal house and a front garden, and maybe a puppy... even if, truth be told, I can see Michael as a college student coming back home everyday to Wild Bill, and then the two falling in a routine with the sunday lunch with Michael's family... and maybe also the author is seeing beyond Michael's gruff exterior, since one of the most sweet and sexy scene of all the book is when Wild Bill tenderly washes out all the make-up from Michael's face, to see, for the first time, the real man under it... and it's not a real man, it's barely a boy, with all the dreams of a boy.

Little by little, Michael and Wild Bill are learning to build a world for their own, a world where a vampire and an hunter can fall in love and having an happily ever after... maybe...
