Night Kiss: BL Entertainment, Book 1

Malinowski (A Midsummer Dream) delivers a romantic, pulse-pounding series opener featuring a family of immortal vampires turned K-pop idols and the superfans who fall for them. Cheong Jin-woo, a university student studying design and media, is a devoted fan of South Korean boy band Bam Kiseu, especially the sultry vocalist, Ki-tae. Jin-woo never expected to meet Ki-tae, much less find him backstage in the middle of the concert drinking blood from a member of the stage crew. Naturally, Ki-tae seduces him. When a university music video contest sponsored by Bam Kiseu’s music label brings Jin-woo face-to-face with his vampiric hook-up a second time, sparks fly and dastardly plots are formed. If Jin-Woo and Ki-tae can share their secrets and overcome their painful pasts, love and music may conquer all. This story, both bloody and fluffy, is perfect for devotees of Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunters series, decadent Korean dramas, and (fanfic of) K-pop boy bands. (Jan.)
