Enter, Night by Michael Rowe
3.0
2.5-3
I'm conflicted about this book because there were things I liked a lot and things I hated a lot. Like how it seemed random or plot convenient if the vampires turned insane and murder happy or if they were able to remain themselves but undead.
Or how the 12 year old boys crush on a 15 year old girl leads to them having sex? (it's vague how much they do) after he turns into a vampire because she feels bad for him. Why was that a vital part of the story we had to have? His unrequited crush when she was clearly not interested and just wanted a friend was borderline creepy already.
The worst part though was the backstory that was just slapped on at the end of the actual story, almost as an afterthought. I wasn't interested by that point because almost all the characters are dead and the backstory wasn't written in a way that drew my attention to it now the story was over.
