I realized I am not a vampire plot person. The suspense builds well and I cared about Shori but the imagery of a child like being in sexual relationships was disturbing. Audio read by Tracey Leigh was what I started with, but I ran out of time on my digital library loan, and finished listening to the version read by Adenrele Ojo which i liked better.
