Escaping Exile

By Sara Dobie Bauer
Escaping Exile by Sara Dobie Bauer digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Andrew is a vampire from New Orleans, exiled to a tropical island in the 1800s as punishment for his human bloodlust. During a storm, a ship crashes off shore. After rescuing a sailor from the cannibals native to the land, Andrew becomes fascinated with his brilliant, beautiful new companion, Edmund.

Edmund is a British naturalist who has sailed the world seeking new species. Intrigued by creatures that might kill him, immortal Andrew is this scientist's dream-but so is making his way back home. Edmund will fight to survive, even while wrapped in the arms of a monster.

As light touches and laughter turn to something much more passionate, the cannibals creep ever closer to Edmund. Can the ancient vampire keep his human alive long enough to escape exile and explore their newfound love, or will Andrew's bloodlust seal his own doom?

“This novella is impressive in a few ways, one of which is how much it can do in so few pages. The prose is lovely, the characters are immediately interesting, and there isn’t a single moment of boredom. I attached to Andrew instantly, and managed to love him even more as the story went on. This vampire story delivers familiar elements without being rote or cliché, and the result is something fun and entirely satisfying. While short, Escaping Exile still manages to have multiple plot elements churning in the background. Nothing is overcomplicated or heavy, unfolding naturally into something more complex than “will I eat him or not” and “will the Cannibals eat him or not”. I don’t know how else to describe it outside of it felt good to read. And isn’t that what we all want? A good time? I wanted a good time, and Escaping Exile gave it to me. The ending brings the piece to a fulfilling conclusion, but also tickles the palette with hints of more. Luckily for all of us, this is the first of a trilogy. I’m already down for more adventures with Andrew and co.”
“This is a quiet tale. I had to adjusted to the author's writing style for a while., for this is my first book of this author. After that, the story was quite interesting. Definitely paranormal fantasy, because I found that Andrew is a vampire, and there's cannibals in the island :) First part of the story, I need to finish all of the trilogy. If you are looking for a different kind of reading, I suggest to try this book.”
