I think this dark paranormal romance is another urban fantasy book to read that highlights a sexy black vampire. Chosen By A Vampire by Wynta Tyme was recommended as the next book to read after Khan’s Choice.

It’s still spooky season so I’m putting more effort into reading more thriller and dark romance books this month. The first book in my dark paranormal binge-read was Khan’s Choice. It was so good, that I wanted to read more on black vampires.

After reading the first chapter, here are my thoughts on this book so far.

First Impressions Of This Book

The main character Tempo has a lot on her plate. Between working with autistic children at her job, going to Pilates, juggling the Principal trying to slurp her up on his plate, and a mysterious man moving across the hall from her is enough.

And let me tell you, she thinks she’s going bat crazy because she keeps hearing voices in her head. So who in the heck is talking to her?

Sex Scene In The Prologue?

But let’s put that piece of information on the back burner because the prologue had me gagging. It puts you right in the middle of a sex scene. And from what I read, it was getting intense.

However, I should have known some craziness was coming my way because the author gave a trigger warning statement before the madness. In her words, “This is your trigger warning.” After that, it puts you right in the middle of a hot and spicy scene that leaves you very curious about what’s to come next.

I think that was a smart choice to begin this book with that scene because it creates a page-turning moment that leaves you curious, with a little bit of tension to see how Tempo even got into that situation.

Kildare Is A Typical Vampire So Far

Kildare, “Dare” for short, is the name of the sexy black vampire that moves across the hall from Tempo. But she doesn’t know that yet. From the first chapter, all Tempo knows is that a fine, long black locs, muscular tatted-up man is moving across the hall from her and ends up in her classroom the next day.

This had me thinking, “Did this man position himself as a teacher so that he could be closer to Tempo?” Being that he’s a vampire that can possibly compel others to think, believe, or act on certain things is an idea on the table.

And based on the last thing he said to her makes me think he sought her out. Also, I believe that one or a few of her coworkers are working or know Dare somehow.

Because how else did he find Tempo? And conveniently moves across the freaking hall from her?

It’s giving stalker, possessive, demanding, and dangerous… all the characteristics of a vampire.

Tempo Is A Curvy BBW

Tempo’s character is so cute to me. A curvy BBW with black locs, brown eyes, and an attitude to match is the main reason why Dare and everyone else are madly attracted to her, and the other teachers are hating on her.

She gave one of her female coworkers the business because Dare politely rejected her for Tempo. So I’ll give Dare his kiddos because he was dead set on Tempo, and on her only. That’s because he was on a mission to get Tempo back into his life.

Meanwhile, Tempo is confused to learn that the two of them had a beautiful life together in the past. She just can’t remember it, until Dare touches her, and a glimpse of an unfamiliar past plays in her mind.

She wants to believe what Dare is telling her but maybe he’s just playing games. But the more she is around him, he shows her the answers she seeks.

Trust me, Tempo doesn’t give off dummy vibes. She’s skeptical for a reason. But I think as this story tells itself will reveal either a really good plot or a plot with questionable holes in it.

Either way, I can’t wait to see how this story unfolds.

Til next time,

– Much Love, Ash ❤️
