This seemed fitting for a day, that is -14 degrees with a “real feel” of -30 degrees. And yes, that is iced coffee. Nothing will change that
YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU – Marcus Hawke (Released November 26th, 2024)
Book Description:
What would you do for more time?
Christmas Eve, 1984. Montgomery Nolan is about to die. Even at ninety years old, it’s never enough. But he has a way out. A way to live… beyond death. No longer hunted by time, he will become the hunter. And the night will be anything but silent.
From Marcus Hawke, author of The Miracle Sin and Grey Noise, comes a bold new vampire tale. One of greed and lust. Power and immortality. Age and youth. And of course, blood!
My Thoughts: 4/5 stars
This cold weekend, I read two books about vampires, and this one came out on top. This packs a punch being just under 250 pages, and it’s so much more than just a bloody vampire story.
Would you seek immortality if you could? After almost a century of life, lessons, and experiences, Montgomery is on his deathbed and desperately wishes for more time. Having an immense wealth at his fingertips, he has found a way to become a vampire on the night of Christmas Eve. The blood really begins once unleashed on the unsuspecting streets of New York.
This is one that will make you think long after you finish. What would you do if given the opportunity at immortality? Would it be worth the price to pay? Is there ever really enough time to experience all you want to in one lifetime?
