I really like this book and read it in one weekend. It is a take on vampire ethics through a cute small town family. It has family drama, gore, and the struggles of modernity. Not your average vampire family but the set up is amazing!

Barely anything in this book felt interesting to me. I didn't like any of the characters and their motivations, the plot was also easy to guess. The style of writing and the short chapters did make for an easy read.
