Synopsis (Goodreads):
Dating and mating are the irrational pursuits of mortal races while the rare vrykoly species watches dispassionately from afar. But after his captain and first officer find love with the extraordinary females of Earth, this vrykoly is forced to wonder if he was—dare he say it?—wrong. Piloting the deathly cold and vast distances of space is why he was meant to exist, all he’s ever known, and even his dreams have always been black and still. Can anyone ever love a soul-sucking space vampire?
Thoughts on Dark Matter: A space vampire, guys. Yessssss. Space vampires might be my new thing. Along with metal lords and what-have-you. Seriously, though, don't mind me, I read these books out of order and, BOY, was I loving Ivan.

So. For a guy who's SUPER in sync with the universe around him, Ivan's kind of out of step with other beings. He's an awesome navigator (wouldn't you be in the stars around you wrote themselves on your skin?), but he lives a sort of joyless, emotionless, something-else-less existence. Whatevs, right? He gets to chart paths through the stars and that's enough.

Or is it?

Delaney throws him all out of whack. She calls to him to the way the universe calls and he kinda like having feelings when it comes to her.

As for Delaney, she's thrilled for her friends' good fortune, but she's feeling the sting of being the only one who's going to be left behind. When she's offered an opportunity to step outside her comfort zone and travel the galaxy, she ends up taking it. AND IVAN DOESN'T DISAPPOINT. I guess the journey's okay, too. I guess.

Anyway. I've loved all the books in this series in different ways and Ivan and Delaney's story hit the spot in a BIG way. *thumbs up* all around.
