Lim, a dominant omega living as an alpha, is a selfish, wealthy, playboy, who works at the family corporation. Everything is perfect for Lim, until he is betrayed and kidnapped by his one night stand. What follows is a story of corruption, betrayal, loyalty and eventually, love. I love hat the couple does the flip-f$@k! So rare in Yaoi. I really appreciate the flashback scenes were done in a sepia tone. Made the story flow better for me. Wish all authors did that! Slow starter, but worth reading.

Interesting concept. I'm not keen on the rape scene, though. I certainly wouldn't serve as a tour guide for my rapist! Interesting reincarnation concept, but why wasn't the demon child raised by his mother? Why couldn't the father know about the child? Also, how can a deceased, pregnant hellion escape he'll, and give birth to a live child in our world?! I'm not clear on that.

Very interesting story. Lee Minhoon and Hyungnim are childhood friends. Hyung realizes his attachment to Kingpin, but not his love for him. Meanwhile, Minhoon thinks he is just a concerned friend of Hyung, as Minhoon comes to the rescue, when Hyung is having medical issues. Little does Kingpin know, Hyung health issues are due to him being a vampire! Not only that, but Hyung ran away from home, 300 years ago, after a traumatic event involving his father. I wasn't clear on exactly what happened at that time. The storyline took several detours, back in time for the family drama, and tangents involving the clothing company Jihoon later works for, becoming involved with a television show and several sponsors. I could have done with less minutiae on that, and more in depth storytelling about the vampire families, and relationships. Plus, Minhoons friend Gunchan, (kin to Hyungs father) gets shot and the shooter is never revealed, nor is it made clear the severity of his injuries. Apparently, Bunch an gets shot multiple times, with silver bullets by someone involved in the plot to overthrow Hyung's father. I suspect Edric arranged the hit, but that is never brought to light. Nor is it clear exactly why Hyungs father allows himself to be shot later. Any perceived weakness on his part would make his entire house seen weak, including both his sons and Minhoon. I have yet to understand why Minhoon would even want the job of Kin manager, let alone why he would get it, and on what authority he gives himself a promotion 2 years later with no training on the first job. Plus, this is BL, not Yaoi! Any and all sex, is implied, and even the kisses are somewhat censored. There are multiple vampire bite scenes, yet no illustration of the actual biting. Kind of disappointing.

Ruca and Leo are alpha call boys at an upper class, all alpha escort service. They are ranked as #1 and #2 respectively, in popularity. Ruca is very conscientious and outspoken about respecting their clients, who are usually omegas. Leo seems cocky and carefree, but secretly is very accepting, and harbors a crush on Ruca. Meanwhile, Ruca is not shy about chastising and rebuking Leo. The two end up being requested as a duo on a few jobs. Will they be able to get along for the sake of their customers or will their personalities get in the way?

The jury is still out. The illustration style is all over the place. The same character looks completely different from one chapter to the next. Storyline is very interesting! I'm curious how the relationship between the childhood friends will develop.

Interesting story involving vampires, living in human society. Vampires must "pair" with their fated human, in order to find happiness and mortality. The human must physically consume the vampires second heart, and become the vampires external heart, meaning the vampire dies when the human does.
