Victoria Kinnaird had me hooked from page one. She couldn't have wrote a better debut novel. Her characters are ones that you can relate to. They have everyday problems, just like everyone else (they just happen to be vampires and casters). Eren Anderson, a self-proclaimed "freak among freaks" quickly won a special place in my heart, even though he was stubborn and somewhat short-tempered throughout the book. He's a teenage boy, trying to carve out a place in the world for himself. He's experiencing things that REAL teenagers are going through. It truly was refreshing to read a YA novel told from a teenage boy's perspective and I loved that it had an underlying theme of sexuality to it. Some people may be put off by this element...but I think it made the book that much more relatable. I applaud Kinnaird for writing a story like this one! It's about time! It's not "just another teenage vampire book." No sparkly, brooding vamps here folks. The story flows nicely, it's somewhat fast paced, the characters have depth and the plot has a few twists I didn't expect. This is the kind of book teens SHOULD be reading! I'll be recommending it! If you haven't already bought this book...go get your copy! RIGHT NOW!
