When I first started reading Feed, I wasn't sure I was going to enjoy it. It is a short story, but I felt that it was moving along way too fast. I would have prefered for a slower pace and more details into how the main character, Ian, came to become the desperate creature he is and some more into the characters he encounters.That being said, I did enjoy this book. Ian, a newly transformed vampire, is clueless to how he became the way he is. Yes, he knows it was Penny, a beautiful vampire with a young son that changed him, but he doesn't know what about vampires is true. The sunlight is and the hunger for blood, but why can't he do anything else that vampires can do.Then there is his mysterious keeper. Someone is leaving him 'food' and he has been forbidden to go into the city. He doesn't understand why, but is drawn to a woman that lives in a Victorian house. Soemtimes he does sneak out to see her.The ending brought about a twist that I didn't see coming, leaving me shocked and wanting to know more about the creture that proved to be Ian's undoing.I really hope the authors write a longer version of this short story. I would be one of the first in line to buy it.
