It's fine, issues with pacing and the book isn't sure what kind of book it wants to be. Is it about a vampire cult, is it about the two mains MCs? 

I ended up skipping a lot of the fluff to follow the plot, only to get a rushed explanation at the end of the book to set you up for the next one.

It's very YA, although they're meant to be college age and older. 

I'll still read the next book to see if these issues have been resolved moving forward.
