- This is about vampires, but
they work much like the aliens in Butler's other books. - Again, I struggle with understanding why Butler includes taboo sex acts. I don't think it's for shock value.
- The
trial and detective work were the most interesting parts.

But I do need to say that having the protagonist being called a “child” the entire time and looking like she was 10 years old is unsettling, even knowing she is an over half century old vampire. Vampire adults completely acknowledged their attraction to her and only being able to not act yet since she is still a child!

however i’m noticing a trend of extremely young fmc and a much older love interest that consistently talks about how she’s too young for him and then has sex with her anyway in butler’s books…
