Goodreads Synopsis:
Dimitri Lewandoski is a
celebrated tenor in early 1900s Vienna. When he is killed in an
accident, his corpse is colonized by the seeds of a vampire master. At
first, Dimitri denies that anything has changed, but as the people
around him start dying, he is forced to accept the ghastly truth.
Flash-forward to 2008. In Tokyo, Azusa Kikukawa agrees to sacrifice herself as the next breeding ground for the vampire group in exchange for Dimitri healing her fatally wounded young boyfriend. But now that the deal is struck, Azusa finds herself in a strange house and a strange body, surrounded by the men she must choose from for her deadly embrace

Review:
After the first
volume, I was thoroughly intrigued, but also a little wary of this volume. I
just wasn’t too sure what I was getting into. Where this was going next.
And, honestly, I will
never get over the spider scenes. Those are just utterly gross and horrible and
I cringe just thinking about them. Thankfully there was only one this volume.
Other than that,
the Alice plot line has taken an interesting turn.
The woman
previously known as Azusa, now in Agnieszka’s body, has decided to go by Alice.
She is forced to get past her previous life, and now has to choose a mate among
the vampires she lives with. As apparently that’s how they reproduce, with a
human female, and then they both die. So she has to choose which one she
believes deserves the honor (and it is considered an honor, not sarcasm). Weirdly enough, though, Dimitri believes he’s not
fit for it.
This is going in a
very odd direction. But at least this lets us get to know the vampires better.
I like the twins, and there were some normal moments as Alice gets to know
them, and takes charge of some things in the house.
I have no idea what
Dimitri is up to, and the ending has me confused and curious, and with still
little idea what is going on.
And I look forward
to reading the next one, even more than before.
