Stop pretending, I know you and Philip raced to be first in line to loan this book from the library. ^_^

Okay, okay. You caught me. Philip and I actually got into a nasty fist fight at the library. It was bad. You should have seen the librarian! I thought she was going to have a heart attack! Fortunately, she was able to find TWO copies for us. Isn't that wonderful?! She may have saved a friendship!

HAHAHAHAHA.

I LOVE YOU ALL.

What really confuses me is the fact that the title doesn't relate *at all* with the back material. If the angel girl became a succubus, wouldn't she kill the fallen angel vampire in the process of having sex, meaning that he wouldn't be able to figure out that he has a preference for succubi because he wouldn't have the opportunity to try non-succubi again?

Furthermore, the title implies that it's gentlemanly to give girls sexy venereal diseases (and that a venereal disease is somehow sexy), turn them into vampires, give them a boob job without their consent, and leave them in a dumpster, all as part of a one-night stand. Is that *really* what a modern girl considers to be a model gentleman?

See, I'm just not sure the author understands what a succubus *is*. Well, unless she somehow became a succubus by having sex with a fallen angel...who is also a vampire, which somehow because he's a fallen angel gives him the power to make her demonic...yeah.

Well, as a modern girl I think I'd like to be treated to a nice dinner first...

I just found out something interesting about the etymology of succumbus: The word is derived from Late Latin succuba "strumpet" from succubare "to lie under", from sub- "under" and cubare "to lie"), used to describe the supernatural being as well. It is first attested from 1387.

I've always been partial to the word strumpet.

You've posted a lot of important info there, so I'll need to sort through it carefully to make sure I've properly understood all of it.

The most pressing thing I need to ask is this: For a modern girl, a modern gentleman should first treat her to a nice dinner, and then perform the vampirism and boob job? 'Cause, y'know... among all the things a modern gentleman should do, it's hard sometimes to keep straight which goes before what...

[ladyequinox]

Dinner first, of course. Women like to be wined and dined...

[philsip]

Straight to the top of my reading list, that's all I have to say.

[pie_lady]

Oh Philip! I can't wait to hear what you think! Do let us know :P

[ladyequinox]

I thought it might be, Philip.

So in other words, it's about the same intellectual level as Twilight, but with ZOMGACTUALSEX? *ducks flying object*

Hmmm.

Also, his hair is creepy.

[vortchen]

He actually also only has a 5-pack, for some reason. Must be a gentlemanly vampire thing.

[ladyequinox]

The do actually use actual models for book covers...

Ahahahaha oh my goodness. That is AWFUL.

How do you fight for/obtain a halo? Last I checked, halos weren't transferable objects?
