Overall Feedback: My impulsive first response to this was oh great another vampire novel to through into the pile of other vampire novels. With this in mind I agreed to read and review it thinking I would know the plot and bore myself for a few hours and then post a review about how this goes as other vampire books goes and leave it at that. All due respect to Danielle as she is a friend and fellow member of IWU, that was my first reaction. After reading this book and then rereading this book I would have to say, I WAS WRONG. Danielle carves a story out of a genre that has been beat to death and poked with a stick so many times that most readers are sickened by the idea of reading another one. She takes the reader out of the "Normal" vampire story and throws them into a world where it makes sense. Danielle's vampires are just as we expect from an immortal being with unlimited power, violent, profane and sexual. Well written and I can not wait for the next.Point of View: Manon (from Forever 27) is your main character and is your conduit into this world.Voice: Vampires = PeopleCharacter Development: The development of the characters is spot on and will command your attention to each and everyone. You shall relate to each one in your own way and Manon will of course cause the most transformation.Plot: I dare you not to have the plot in mind when you are done or even have to walk away long enough to do other things.Dialogue: Nothing is held back and the rawness of the dialogue will keep and captivate you.Pacing: I read it twice in one day. Enough said.Setting: Do not let the genre fool you into this security of a world you thought you knew and understood. It is more than you knew and everything you want it to be. Finally an adult version of the preteen genre.Continuity: From start to finish not a hole to be found.
