Then there's the romance -- how clever that one is as well. Johnnie has been in love with his adopted vampire brother, Elam. But Elam will never seen him more as someone to be worthy to him. Then, one night, Johnnie has been captured by passion in the dark, with a creature he only knows as Eros. But Eros doesn't let Johnnie see him under the light, and Johnnie feels like a lover that has to be kept secret. I never think that what Johnnie feels for Eros is love ... As gifted communicator and leading scientist, Juergen Tautz has much in common with Carl Sagan, Richard P Feynman, Konrad Lorenz, Vince Dethier and others famous for their work in popularizing science and making it accessible to all. Johnnie as a character is engaging. He is an adopted son of a Dracula, who takes Johnnie under his wing because the Dracula's wife was the one killed Johnnie's biological parents. All his life, Johnnie struggles to find a place to belong -- abnormals sneer at him, normals afraid of his family's reputation. I enjoy reading his journey of meeting friends who don't care about who he is -- the people in the bar, Bremen, that Johnnie ends up buying as a silent partner to the barman, Peyton Blue (another cast off, a lone wolf). It's wonderful to read how Johnnie finally opens up and sees how important he is to his Dracula's father. I also loved that, behind all the mystery-solving, this was a growing love story, but Derr added a nice mystery to that as Johnnie found himself pulled in two different directions--one towards his shadowy lover Eros, and one towards his daytime savior that forever gets on his nerves. The building tension is very delicious. I figured things out before Johnnie did, but I totally dug the journey to his enlightenment.

An orphan child, adopted by a powerful Dracula named Ontoniel (P.S: in vampire hierarchy Dracula is the vampire that control a certain zone, and all vampires living in his area). I really liked this book especially because it was so different from any other book I have read. Each chapter was a case file for a fairy tale related mystery that Johnnie, the MC, tasked himself to solve. The little mysteries then tied in to the overall mystery of the book. I found them very entertaining and interesting and liked trying to figure out how the resolution would unfold. A fresh point of view on one of the most remarkable behavioural performances in the animal kingdom.Observation from a different viewpoint leads to previously unknown insights. Such new perspectives clearly reveal both how large the gaps in our knowledge still are in relation to the language of bees and in which direction research must take to complete the picture of one of the most impressive behavioural accomplishments in animals.Scarlet and Ivy are resigned to staying at Rookwood School for Girls, all the better for getting rid of the horrible Principal Batholomew. With a new acting Principal, Rookwood will at least be safer to attend. Or maybe not? I loved this book. It was so creepy but cool at the same time, with a lot of unexpected plots- which you can never guess! I was pleased to find that the twins meet their aunt, Aunt Sara. They find out the truth about their mother as well.

The book starts with a careful description of the history of bee research and Tautz makes a special effort to deliver the science ‘as is’ and avoid recycling previous interpretations. … it is long enough to make you wonder what makes this topic worthy of an entire book.” (Etya Amsalem, American Entomologist, Vol. 69 (2), 2023) One night he is approached by a creature he can't place and in the dark, night after night, their encounters become hotter. This creature doesn't want to be seen by Johnnie, and like the mythical god of love, Johnnie gives him the name of Eros. There's so much longing it broke my heart. Unfortunately I can't comment more without giving away an important part of the plot, but trust me, what happens later to Johnnie and Eros is fascinating and amazing.

With everything that's going on in the world, I don't really feel like reading loads of heavy and hard books. I need something easier, something light hearted, something that sparks joy and reminds me that the world can also be a fun and adventurous place. Therefore, apart from some supernatural romantic comedies, I also really enjoy reading middle grade novels at the moment and especially if they're set at a boarding school and star a set of twins. Nostalgia! This book follows a similar format as Dance with the Devil insofar it consists of a compilation of cases. Unlike Dance with the Devil (which I recommend you read first), however, this book progresses chronologically. Johnnie’s investigation leads him to encounter a secret night-time lover whom he calls Eros. Johnnie’s affair with Eros is counterpoint to his daytime interaction with Bergrin and his other companions (regulars at Bremen, the pub Johnnie invests in and lives above).
