Book Blurb

Five years have passed since Firestarter disbanded. The former members went their separate ways, leaving lead singer, Jason Summerfield, band-less. Now he and his lover Julian Kristados are back in the United States, and Jason is itching to get back on the stage.

Nationally known melodic death metal group, Scorned Gods, needs a new singer. When Jason answers the ad, he's welcomed with open arms. He wants to play music. What he gets, however, is far more than that -- and not all of it is good.

Book Review

With the combination of rock bands and the mention of vampires in the description and classification tags of this book, my curiosity was piqued. After all, rock band stars are often bad boys and how could vampires be anything else? And with band names like Firestarter and Scored Gods, Jason’s search for a new musical home was bound to be an interesting and exciting adventure, right? I am happy to report that ‘Iconoclast’ was all I expected –with a few extra twists thrown in for good measure.

Jason and Julian have been lovers for a while, so when they move back to the US together and Jason wants to find a new band to sing for, Julian is supportive. Actually, once it becomes clear what sort of a band Jason is considering and how different its members are, Julian becomes very interested in getting to know them. Specifically Saul, the bass player, who is about as hot as they come. Since Jason and Julian are both equally curious, they soon reach an agreement – and the heat in this novella increases noticeably.

On top of Jason auditioning and joining the band, there is a darker side to the story as well. As it turns out, in this world there are different types of vampire and they don’t all like each other very much. Intrigue, various machinations, and power grabs follow, with Julian, Jason, and Saul right at the center of it all.

If you like bad boys and rock stars, if vampires fighting for power are your thing, and if you’re looking for a read with lots of suspense, considerable heat, and an interesting paranormal world with possibilities for further stories, then you will probably like this short story.
