Ik vond het een erg leuk boek. Je leest er makkelijk in weg. En wie is er nou niet gek op Vampiers? De personages worden goed beschreven en ik kon makkelijk een connectie krijgen met de hoofdpersonage Dillon. Ik wilde het boek eerst 3 sterren geven totdat we het einde van het boek naderde. Spannend en een twist die ik niet had zien aankomen! Ik zal Vamps dus ook zeker aanraden. Ben benieuwd naar het volgende deel en hopelijk komt deze snel uit want ben benieuwd hoe het verder zal gaan voor Dillon.

If you're looking for a good trashy vampire book, this is it. If you're looking for a good book, this is not it. Trashy and enjoyable, yes. Well written or well plotted, no.

DNF at 65%. Pacing was bad and dialogue was cringe-worthy. I also don’t support or care what happens to any character because they all kind of suck.

Yeah it’s exactly what you think from reading it. Perfect for 12 year old readers, not for adults lmao

Dillon is a dhampir–half vampire and half human–and needs to attend VAMPS, one of the most prestigious academy for vampires in the world where children of powerful vampires attend. Dillon is like a fish out of water. He grew up with his human father in a remote part of Ireland, and he has never met his mother. The kids at the school don't take kindly to him, but when his blood turns out to be more powerful that everybody expected, he needs to learn to use his vampire side fast if he wants to survive.

I immensely enjoyed this book. I loved how complicated the relationships between the vampire children and their parents were, and how Dillon found it hard to accept everything that was going on. The only downside of this book for me was that I realised who Dillon's mother was pretty early in the book, even before he finds out.

I received an ARC through NetGalley, but I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.
