Blurb:  It’s a new night and that means more of Theoden’s lessons, one of which I was still recuperating from. I was so out of control last night and if my current physical condition is any indicator, my brothers definitely had their way with me. As far as my relationship with Theoden goes, I can’t help but feel drawn to him. I feel as though he’s accepting me as I’m accepting him in some morbid way. I don’t know… maybe it’s because I know I don’t have any choices. There’s no way out for me. I’m his and we both know it. Maybe there’s still some fight left in me, some little nugget of Noel the man that hasn’t been consumed by Noel the vampire. One can hope. I do know that this night feels different, like I’m coming to the last lap of a long, rigorous race. What is to become of me when this night comes to an end?

Review: If you’ve gotten this far, you must like what is being dished out. I know I do. This refreshingly dark story continues as this final episode of Season one comes to a close.

Noel is finally coming to grips with his new place among the vampire brethren. He still has little niggles where he tests things when he just can’t seem to help himself. But, while Theoden has shown some signs of generosity where Noel is concerned, he does not hesitate to remind Noel with painful lessons.

Speaking of which, Noel has a few final tests to endure before he is fully accepted. His biggest test of all involves giving in to his rival and most hated betrayer, Jonah. It takes some major reminding that he does not have a choice in this before he gives in.

There is still a lot of sex, but the story moves along in a way that keeps the pages turning. There is a total feeling of this all needs to happen before the story can actually move on, but I am ready for the next Season and all the juicy dark deliciousness that has been hinted at throughout this tale.

Bring on the dragons, the weres and other vamps, because, just like Noel, I have been initiated and am ready for more.

Overall Impression: I loved it
