I'm a nice guy these days. Really I am. Because of the vampire Louie dal Pra and his wife, Sonja." Brecken de Boer Brecken can be nice or he can be cruel. It all depends on which part of him is in control, his human aspect or his vampire. And the fight for control is constant. Embittered and alone, Brecken loses himself and struggles to find himself again, not even sure who or what he is. Women, naturally are a major problem. How to treat them, how to understand them? How to find one to love? A woman who would accept him, accept his rage and confusion. And willingly accept his bite. Sonja chooses him to be her husband's friend. But to conquer his dark side he needs Louie - and Brecken is half in love with Louie's wife. Yet he cannot bear to live without Louie, because without him, Brecken is forever alone, and alone is the worst disaster of all.
