How to Bare Your Neck and Save a Wreck

Guides for Dating Vampires, Book 3

By: D. N. Bryn

Narrated by: Simon Dornet

A single kiss from a masked vampire has left Shane with an obsession and a mission: uncover the secrets of the black-market blood trade and find his mystery vampire in the process. But one knock at the wrong door and he could have fangs at his throat instead of lips.

Andres is trying to forget his kiss with Shane Crowley by drowning himself in his work as a thief for the blood trade. When his boss seizes an overcurious Shane to drain his blood, though, Andres's only option is to buy him for every drop he'll ever produce. This new ownership awakens thoughts of glittering collars—thoughts Andres knows are the desires of a monster.

But Andres needs blood to live, and he's going to have it from Shane, even if that means donning a mask once more and demanding Shane bare his neck during nightly excursions.

Soon, Shane feels pulled in all directions, between the strange desires his role as Andres's part-time blood slave is stirring in him, his investigations into the cycle of injustice that so many fanged citizens face, and a new friend whose mouth seems strangely familiar. Little does he know, every path leads back to the same vampire . . .

Contains mature themes.

I ugly sobbed!!! 🥹

I cried no less than 3 times in this one. I can't remember the last book that pulled at my heart so much. I truly felt seen and loved with the trans representation. the story was AMAZING!!!! the mistakes, the love, the sacrifice! oh my gosh. the fish two books were good but this one was sooooooooo good! plus everything you write is so fun. The performance was on point, as usual. this voice actor seriously needs awards. don't stop! we need more of you in the world of fantasy and vampires!!!

wonderful series!

I really enjoyed this entire series, and this was a nice end. I hope the author explores this world a little more too because I feel like there is lots of potential. highly recommend if you are looking for a great plot and like vampire stories. The concept of the vampires in this world is really great and I just loved everything about it. The narrator is also wonderful and I liked getting glimpses of characters from past stories.

this is a spoiler, but I really enjoyed getting to know Natalie more and feeling more complex emotions about that character.

Fang-tastic!

A lovely, queer, and spicy story! Its own story, with a new romantic couple, but follows the overarching plot of the Vitalis-Barron Pharmaceuticals drama and villainy from the other two books. Loved the trans/nonbinary rep, and how it was portrayed 🏳️‍⚧️💖

My Heart Is Happy

Ive been wishing for something like this, especially from D. N. Bryn's vampire series.
A dark masqurade phantom of the opera romance with trans and enby mc's.
My heart is happy, my crops are flourishing, my vision has been corrected, I'm hydrated and well nourished, the sun is shining. I hope someday to get a physical copy of this as well.

Representation

Love the representation for queer, non-binary, transmasc people and something that doesn’t get into many “mainstream” books is the sex scenes of trans people. Loved the read!
