D.M. Wolfenden does an amazing job of vampire horror in Behind Blue Eyes. The story spans from 1917 to present day, detailing Cain's life after his mother changes him to the vampire condition in a desperate bid to save his life. The reader is completely drawn into this fast paced and captivating tale. I loved the relationship that develops between Cain and Mia, and was fearful for the girl and the situations in which she landed. Wolfendon creates a tension in the first pages of her novel which continues and strengthens throughout. The characters are vivid and can't help but elicit a response in the reader. Not for the faint hearted, this book in its unedited condition contains some true horror which Wolfenden applies with liberal skill. If I were a gentler soul, I'd have collapsed with a heart attack half way through the book. As it was, I can only say that Wolfenden's Behind Blue Eyes is a must read for all horror/fantasy lovers among us. I eagerly await her next work.
