This book is really about addiction. The main difference is that instead of getting high on alcohol or drugs, these vampires get high on blood -- the ultimate aphrodisiac.
The main character of the book is an openly gay male vampire named Nick Santos. After getting off of blood himself, he attempts to help other vampires do the same using a 12-step program, Vampires Anonymous.
Gay and lesbian sex and desire occur in many central and secondary characters. Nick has even had a sexual relationship with the main male villain of the story.
While the story is somewhat unusual (though a gay Vampire Anonymous group has already been done in the book appropriately titled Vampires Anonymous), it is fairly long and repetitive, but there are enough twists and turns to make it bearable, if not enjoyable.
