Very dark and descriptive in a way that makes the reader rethink vampires. These aren't your shiny vampires and they aren't your bar owning True Blood vampires. These have a real, dark and dirty, feel to them. It's refreshing.Smith has a great grasp of language, a depth in her vocabulary, and her word choice also sets the tone and setting. Her similes are awesome throughout and are consistently brilliant throughout the book, The pace of the story is strong. There are a few really nice build ups of tension that are resolved satisfactorily.The tension with the love triangle is good, too. Cavan is an interesting character who keeps the reader on edge and guessing.The descriptions and imagery are top notch.This is a very new way of dealing with the vampire mythos and quite refreshing after the pop vampires that people are reading about. These vampires are dark and tortured. The book is a great read!
