Reader reviewed by Lizzy

This is going to be a fairly short
review, because I'm not really sure how to express my feelings about
this book. I was hesitant about reading this book after I read a few
reviews, but I picked it up anyway. I liked the sound of the premise,
so I thought "why not?".

I liked the book, and I definitely
sympathized with Dru. It sucks beyond all reason to become an orphan
and have to deal with the things that go bump in the night coming after
you. Personally, I know that I wouldn't be able to keep my cool, or
sanity, if my dad showed up at my door Zombie-ified.

While I
thought the beginning felt slow, I definitely felt myself get sucked
into the book after Graves befriended her. It felt like that was when
all the action really started, and things started coming after her.
When Dru finally started asking questions about what happened to her
father she met Christophe (a half-human, half-vampire), who has some of
the answers she was looking for. I'm personally a fan of Graves,
probably because he's the outcast. He is also trying to get by on his
own, and has developed some street smarts to get him through.

I'm
looking forward to the sequel, which promises to hold more action, and
some suspense. Of course, I'll also be reading it to see who wins in
Graves v. Christophe.
