blahhhh
why does every vamp story have a new vamp that is bitten, taken in by an educated vampire, blatantly fancies one of the strapping main character vampires, is ashamed of being a vampire, then grows accustomed and then becomes a fighter?
WELL?!

hehehe

i'd say that ur not subtle enough when describing things. we already know she fancies him. and that's just because he's a he and she's a she. it's inevitable.
it's the same as your character going 'grr i am displeased that you did that! It makes me partially angry!'

this would be all the more awesome if it wasn't cliched. coz your writing's pretty nifty.
i'm probably not the best person to criticise, i've just read bits and pieces - but all those bits and pieces i had seen written differently in other vampire things so BLAH

don't shoot me down! *prepares anti-air bombs*

I absolutely loved it.
In the prolouge, the hair "gently brushed" the man's shoulder. It seems to detract from the characterization.

In chapter 2, "
'Good, because holding your hand feels extremely natural and comfortable for me too,' he responded, still smiling.", seems a bit awkward, but it might just be characterization.

Also, on a more broad scale, the relationship between Charlie and Nicholas seems forced and too devloped for such an early stage.

The prolouge seems to have a different feel from the rest of the story. You might want to see how th e story changes if you drop it. Adds a bit more mystery.


And I have to say, in chapter four, when he put the blood in the microwave, LMAO. It seemed so comical somehow. Even if it wasnt' intentional it was awesome.

In chapter 5, the speech on the bond seems really forced. And it seems like Charlie has a bit of severe mod-swinging in there, even under circumstances.

Nicholas seems too good, like he's hiding something...

And there are a few cleches about. If you could reverse some of the ones that you write as you go, it could be really interesting.

I like the whole thing, please keep writing.
