Vampires walk among us. For centuries, they have adapted, learning to pass undetected in our world. They no longer fear the day, only the sting of direct sunlight. They are students, bankers, lawyers, and even actors. But when the sun goes down, they are all united by their eternal thirst. We do not see them from our safe and comfortable side of the night. But sometimes, one of us is drawn away from the light and we cross into their world. Into the other side of night. Sebastian Rossi's second year at the University of Tennessee began much differently than his first. He rushes to and from his classes, covered head to toe in thick clothing. Parties are a thing of the past, and dating hasn't been high on his list of priorities. No, high on his needs is blood. Lots of it. Adjusting to the changes no one even told him would happen following one great night of partying and sex has been hell for Bastian, but he's managing. Riley Lynch's dream is to be a veterinarian. He works hard to pay his tuition, reads in every spare moment, and tries to forget the nightmare of his sophomore year. Summer has washed away all the bad, leaving him refreshed and eager for his junior year at UT. Life is finally looking up for him, and he has no intention of sliding back down into the depression that had consumed him during his last relationship. A chance meeting brings their two worlds into alignment and passion sparks between them. When Riley learns of the changes Bastian is going through, he has a choice to make walk away or embrace the night.

I liked this book very much since it made a paranormal romance almost "normal"; Bastian is a newly made vampire, but he is so new and unprepared to the event that he is almost trying to convince himself it didn't happen. Sure, growing an allergy to sun and long fangs don't help him. And the drinking blood issue neither. But Bastian is still hoping it will go away, especially now that he is falling in love with Riley, and he wants to enjoy this new love like any other college kid.The first part of the story is really sweet, from what I gather Bastian and Riley spent 10 months just "courting" each other, with nothing more sexual between them than a goodnight kiss. Riley is trying to go over a very bad past experience with an abusive boyfriend, and Bastian is trying to understand how to be in love with Riley without hurting him.
If I have to find a fault to this story is only one point, the reaction of Riley to Bastian's revelation. My impression of Riley was of a spoiled kid, more worried about himself than their relationship. One example? Bastian has just told him he killed a man as soon as he was turned, and Riley almost doesn't take notice of that. But as I said that is only a point, and maybe it was part of Riley's character, something that well bond with how he will behave at the end of the story, and by the way it's also something that gives deepness to Bastian's character: more we find little faults in Riley, more it's possible he will be able to accept Bastian and his changes, otherwise if Riley was really perfect, he would have been too uptight for him.
As I said, even if this is a paranormal story, it was mostly sweet and very much like a college romance. Actually Bastian could have been simply "ill", allergic to sun, and his and Riley's story would have been nice the same. I love the meetings in the coffee shops, the dinner and cinema dates, and even the first friends night with them ending playing a card game... it was all very young and pretty and yes, even a little preppy, but I really loved the whole thing.

Other Side of Night Bastian Riley SL Armstrong K Piet 9781937058258 Books Reviews
Sensual. That is the word I would use to describe this novella. I guess I should explain what sensual means to me, so we are all on the same page. It is when the story is about more than two people coming together in a well written sex scene. There are deep passionate emotions tied to the act, which for me means a lot of slow, deep, drugging kisses! The authors did this very well. I was envious of what Sebastian and Riley have. It doesn't matter if this was a story about mermaids, hockey players or vampires. I would still love this story based on the character interactions.
The story started out a little slow, but became a page turner once Sebastian had completed his change and decided to peruse Riley...
