This was a new take on vampires (or Mani as this author refers to them as) It was nice to see the point of view of a vampire tale from a male perspective. There was a lot of really detailed fight scenes, which is how a male character would see/remember things.** Spoilers/nitpicks **~ I wish the author would have chosen nocturnal birds for his 'mani' to turn into. Unfortunately none of the birds listed in the story are out at night, only in the daytime. This type of detail is pretty big and damages the story. Switch up the bird species and it would have been so much more appealing. This took away a star.~ The 'intimate' scenes either faded to black immediately or were really, really weak. I'd have rather they been left out all together. Either go there completely or don't at all.~ The character 'Tommy' was said to be staying with his grandmother for the month before their 'big fight'. Then later at the Bed and Breakfast it's stated Tommy had no family. Oopsie!~ Dr Martins brand is spelled "Doc Martins" by this author.~ It's mentioned at the end that Josiah is bitten three times... He was actually bitten four. Twice by Wyatt at the frat party in the beginning (neck and wrist) Once by Yari (snake bite) and then again at the end on the cliff by Hector. All these together take away another star.After just finishing reading it the first time... it felt a little flat, I wish it had more character depth and more details. I didn't hate this story nor did I love it. I'm kinda on the fence. Will save in my kindle and read again later to be fair. A little more editing and it would have been really good.
