The story was very unique and I enjoyed it a lot. There were some overly sensitive parts I could have gone without however. Just a bit too heavy at times for me, and I don't think the story really needed those topics.

challenging dark mysterious

4.5

Very cool vampirific type of story. Might be difficult for some readers. I think if I had read this (instead of the audiobook), I would probably classify it more as a horror book, and probably would have had a more difficult time with different scenes.
