Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 9, 2011
The main character, Two, is a nineteen year-old prostitute, hooked on heroin. She is trapped in her life and has abanboned all hopes of life getting any better.Her pimp sends her to a new client and she mets Theroen, a powerful vampire who starts to change her.Due to the drugs in her system, Two does not become a vampire right away and remains a few months with Theroen before the final change. During that time, she discovers how intricate and dangerous the politics of vampire life are.This is not your typical vampire story. I  kept being pleasantly surprised by new concepts. The plot is well spaced and kept me interested until the end and, as other readers, i am willing to read the sequel.I gave it four stars instead of five because I kept wishing that the author explain, and better showcase, the love and connection between Theroen and Two. We get a very simple and quick explanation of why Theroen chose Two but it didn't feel real, logical or emotional to me. Also, the vampire scene, lifestyle and politics is touched upon but not developed. Hopefully  next time...
