velveteencactus's review against another edition
3.5
Great descriptions of New Orleans. The setting really came alive in this book and had a palpable presence throughout. The teenage problems with school bullies and boys were occasionally annoying but honestly didn't hinder the novel to any great degree. The characters were likeable for the most part and (minor spoilers) I liked how the vampires actually killed people and retained that degree of monstrosity that is sometimes taken away from vampires that are also meant to be romantic interests . Lastly, the treatment of the Black and Native characters in this book was a little stereotypical and they didn't really have any role beyond helping the white characters.
