"How can I describe the heaven that is your taste? I can't. There aren't enough superlatives..."
Former Soviet surgeon Roman Ivanescu honors his Hippocratic Oath never to do harm by working at a blood bank in Manhattan. Quenching his violent thirst without killing a soul, Roman resists his natural urges and dances on the edge of sanity. Entranced by his first taste of her, Roman hunts down prima ballerina Maiko Himura, who awakens in him a passion he thought long dead. But when Roman finds out his new love has just a few weeks left on earth, he must make a terrible choice. And for every gift, there is a price.
A vampire's passionate confession to his beloved, J.T. Geissinger's The Last Vampire transforms a classic predator into a man forced to make desperate choices for love.

Wow! This was the first purchase I have made of material by this author, and I am so pleased that I took the chance! This was a quick read, but by the end of the story, you really love the main character, Roman, and find yourself missing him after the story is over. Never have I read a story where, in 62 short pages, so much of a character's deepest self is revealed.It was really quite moving to read Roman's story, all of which is written in first person in a very conversational and personal tone, as the narrative is placed in the form of a letter from Roman, a vampire, to his human lover, a ballerina named Maiko. In this letter, which is written by Roman over the course of one dusk-to-dawn night, Roman covers such topics as how he became a vampire, what his life as a vampire was like, and how he came to discover and ultimately pursue his lover Maiko. It is really quite a touching tale, for Roman is, at his core, a 'kind' vampire who does not wish to do unnecessary harm in the world if he can avoid it. And so you really can't help rooting for this kind and decent (if undead) 'soul', who, despite all odds, and much to even his own surprise, has found love!
However, make no mistake, Despite his kindness, Roman is unapologetic about being Vampire...no 'vampire angst' here! In fact, he regards his state as a gift and sees many advantages on a number of levels, to being Vampire. He has merely made adjustments to his life and structured it in such a way as to make it unnecessary to kill anyone to feed.
To say much more about the plot would ruin the story, but I simply must say a word or two about JT Geissinger's writing. Bottom line, she is a beautiful writer - easy to read and with a lyrical command of the language. These days, so many books you pick up (especially ebooks) are in DIRE need of an editor, but that is not a problem here. No mixed tenses, no changing of person in mid-paragraph (or even mid-sentence!) and no obsession with a particular word or group of words that are used so much in a narrative that readers want to run out in traffic! No....this woman can WRITE. And I bet she even owns a thesaurus! Reading this novella was like slipping into a bed dressed with satin sheets - so smooth and silky and EASY! Bottom line: She is not just a great storyteller, but a great writer who you do not have to struggle with through every paragraph. A real joy to read.
As I mentioned earlier, I had not read any of her books previous to this one, but I will. I downloaded the first book in her series immediately upon completing The Last Vampire and look forward to reading it soon.

The Last Vampire (Audible Audio Edition) J T Geissinger Christopher Lane Brilliance Audio Books Reviews
Genius, intelligent fun and romantically disturbing... However I didn't like the ending and it was only a short two hour read at best.
Geissinger writes beautifully and the story is well plotted--so well plotted that you don't realize the truth until you are supposed to (at the end).
Geissinger's vampire confesses his love and, in so doing, he seems not the monster of conventional vampire lit, but a man with a unique identity and sensibility.
I tend to either mentally assign a "I am glad I bought this book" and a "I want my money back" sign on what I purchase. This definitely has an "I am glad I purchased this book" sign on it.
A review is quite difficult in this case as it was short, had a limited plot and had characters we only briefly get to know. However it works. It is unusual in it's presentation of vampires, the main character is dark yet quite practical in making his decision and we are left to wonder how many will pay the bloody price eventually for his choice. Fascinating and well worth the read.
While I like this author, she is a hit or miss for me. Could not finish. Deleted it.
What an excellent tale, with quite a twist on vampire lore. Told in the form of a letter written by a vampire to his beloved, you will laugh and smile and feel his love for his ballerina. He's quite a character as is she. This is a short, sexy and sweet read that packs a punch and that is absolutely beautifully written.
Entertaining, well written story. One of the better vampire stories I've read.
