I got this book in exchange for a honest review.I actually read the entire book - the content did not keep me interested the entire time and I was trying to tell myself that it would get better.  However, it gets worse later on.  I mean the plot was a nice thought.  A vampire who is a direct descendant of Count Dracula (ok, he's his long-lost son) happened to be on the run because he killed someone.  I like the books that has vampires in it, but this one had to be the worst one I have ever read.  I'm sorry, Janet Parfitt.  I tried to like it...The book also jumped to different characters' perspective and I got a little lost in the beginning but I got used to it after reading it.  However, the writing was just horrible.  I felt like I was reading a middle-schooler's story.  Heck, I was thinking of the students I used to work with and they would write something like this.  They were 5th and 6th graders.  The dialogue was really awkward and the actions were awkward.  I felt it was also a little too fast when it could use a little more elaboration.  But I couldn't really enjoy it at all.As I mentioned, it did get worse later on.  It's like the author tried her best in the beginning, then it gets sloppy and there were some scenes that did not make ANY sense to me.  I kept shaking my head to try to stop analyzing the scenes because I told myself that it would make any less sense if I think more about it.  I think it was trying to be funny in some way but it failed with me.  Maybe other readers will see it differently, and if that's the case, great.  This was also the first time I read a book by Janet Parfitt but I don't think I want to read another book of hers.
