Book: Surface Scratch by Gale Ian Tate

Rating: 3/5

Surface Scratch is the first book in the Neon Scars series and I have to say, it is really refreshing to read a LGBTQ+ love story where the main trial isnt about homophobia. Whether thats in the main character feeling conflicted about his sexuality, or his peers attacking him for it, the trials in this book are based on the animosity between vampire and vampire hunters and not on whether being gay or not should cause a moral dilemma. The Daylight Society (the vampire hunters) are a very classic villain group with their corupt morals and violence, which gives the reader a clear idea of who the "bad guys" are, even with the morally grey vampires being some of the main cast.

The love story in this book is a classic: attraction at first sight with an age gap to boot. Marcus is Calebs new boss. He is kind and caring, and he acts 10 years younger than his "human" age of 32. Caleb is instantly attracted and falls hard and fast, even after finding out that Marcus is a 200 year old vampire.

Speaking of, I really enjoyed the visuals of the vampires in this book. The eyes that turn black like ink dropped in milk, the 8 pointed canines, and the voice that sounds like two people talking at once to show the juxtaposition of man and beast. It's a wonderfully different and darker image of vampires to other books that I've read.

Surface Scratch deals with the tough realities of grief and how it keeps coming back and hitting you at random times. Also the realities of being a 20yo caring for a family member and putting your life, your development, on hold, which really resonated with me as a reader.

There are, however, a few issues I found whilst reading. In some of the sentences, the words were slightly out of order, making me double take to make sure I understood what was being said. There was also some spelling errors, an example of this being a reference to Calebs "public" bone instead of his pubic bone during a passionate scene. Additional editing may be benificial for these reasons, but also to help with repeated words and to make a more cohesive story line. At the moment it feels very much like bullet points: this happens, then this happens, then this happens. Rather than it flow naturally.

On the subject of the sex scenes, there was no talks between the two before Marcus enacted on his kinks in the bedroom, strangling on a first hookup without prior concent is a no-no for me. Also, feeding whilst having sex? I feel like this should have been discussed too. There is obviously a BDSM underlayer here, but without proper concent or contract, with no checking in mid way through, I feel like this could give some readers a skewed idea on what the scene is really like.

I still don't understand why some people think that Dan and Phil dislike large swathes of the phandom. They know we're crazy! It's one of the reasons they love us so much! We submitted them to an RPF tournament 114 times and printed out a screenshot of the final poll and sent it in as a fucking preshow question and they reblogged the poll to help us win. They printed us sweatshirts saying legalize catboys and we wore them in public and then, on twitter, we found the normal people who posted about seeing us. We raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for charity and in return they gave each other eyebrow slits live on camera because they know we love to see them embrace edgier looks and touch each other. We told them that they raised us and instead of saying "no we didn't who are you" they apologized for being bad parents and sold us a hat that said "Dan and Phil are my dads." They turned Dan into a golden pig; no one even asked for that! In any way! They just did that! For the memes and the Dragon City sponsorship money! Someone made a post nine years ago about Dan and Phil kissing onstage at a combined MCR/FOB/panic concert and we kept passing that post around and referencing it for nine years, and when they realized MCR and FOB were performing together for the first time in more than a decade, they decided to reenact the post and put it on instagram, tumblr, twitter, and tiktok. We said their Sims 4 outfits were ugly, they made an entire apology video. We shipped them together, they said surprise! Our show is the matchmaking event of the century. They named their show tit. THEY NAMED THEIR SHOW TIT. We're crazy. They're crazy. Together, we've created one of the most unhinged fanbases on the internet. We matched each other's phreak and I think there's something pheautiful about that.
