This was my first time reading literature from a British writer, well, since college I should say, but DM Wolfenden nailed this one. I love the way she writes, her narrative expressions puts the story in clear vision inside your head. You can see the handsomeness of Cain, and envision what his mind goes through when Wolfenden says, he can smell "blood." This wasn't some man eater who lusts the nectar of sweet necks of beautiful women, but in his heart his revenge. When a child loses his mother to a common death it breeds much sadness, but when a child loses his mother because of someone else's doing, it makes you angry, it makes you want revenge. Behind Cain's blue eyes lies a quest for blood, blood his mother shed. He meets Mia who he can identify with because her innocence was lost similar to his own- the innocence of being motherless. This story was captivating, and I had to remind myself that the setting was the mid-1900s. Wolfenden makes you forget about the time period and focus on the storyline as a whole. I've heard about vampires in Britian but until you meet Cain, you don't know one.
