Western fantasy + war zone. Vampire × human, happy ending, one-on-one, an old-timer and a little one.
Original title: Somewhere You Are
First-person narration, alternating perspectives, unconventional Western fantasy.
A devoted, old-fashioned vampire who’d charge into battle for love × a resilient, dry-witted, workaholic doctor.
War-zone doctor Ian Styles finds a strange man in the ruins after a bombing. Or rather, not a man at all, but a vampire more than six hundred years old who claims to be searching for his lover across reincarnations. Ian has no intention of getting involved in this bizarre love story at first. But as the past is gradually revealed, crises keep erupting in the camp, friends die under mysterious circumstances, and the war rages on. Before long, he finds himself at the center of it all... And this vampire is connected to him in more ways than one.
Immortality is never a blessing. The long passage of time will erode the remaining passion and hope in life. Time and again, one watches their beloved sacrifice themselves to save the world, and time and again, one is trapped in an endless cycle of inheriting their will... This is a dialogue-based novel with a dual perspective (?)
The author clearly has a certain literary foundation! Some of the descriptions have a flavor reminiscent of Western literature. A small suggestion: the pacing might be a bit fast, and some background information is unclear, sometimes causing gaps in the narrative. Adding interludes of varying lengths would clarify past events while maintaining a more coherent and progressively deeper plot. 😘😘
Waaaaah, author, keep up the good work! Looking forward to the next book! 🥺
