At first I thought this story started out slow and maybe I was loosing focus with it, but as I thought about it there was so much mystery going on here my mind was constantly running through scenarios as I was trying to figure out what was going on and trying to make sense of it. So, where I thought it was slow, was just me trying to piece everyting together and taking it all in.  Where things didn't make sense, the pieces started falling into place.  The mystery was what hooked me.  At first I thought Brian was a little crazy, maybe a little stalkerish and Heather came across as whiney and some what pathetic. I wanted to shake her and tell her to pull herself together, but when it comes down to it, I'd be a mess too and worried about my parents. If you come across this in the begining, hold on, things come together. I loved having the story told the heros perspective, that's always a nice change for me and what was even more amazing was watching Brian discover what he could and couldn't do with his powers as he tested his limits.  Brian is a vamprire, in highschool and in love with the girl next door.  Of course she is dating the stupid jock Chuck.  He has some unique set of powers that he explores daily.  His mother died six months before and is basically fending for himself with some small help from his aunt.  He has been in love with Heather from afar, but is able to visit her in her dreams.  As the story rolls on we see that Brian isn't one hundred percent sure what exactly he is and takes alot of notes from movies and books.  He's not sure what else is out there and if he is the only one with his unique powers.  He's been left in the dark.  Brian get's the chance he has always wanted with Heather when she is in trouble and he is there to save her, but how much of it is from his power of suggestion??  What happens over this book is a lot of action, crazy government agents, a hairy beast and maybe a little bit of a love story.  The last few chapters really were hard for me to put down as things started moving really fast.  We had an intorduction to the aunt, a few things explained and the infamous showdown the story leads up to.  We are left hanging at the end which makes me anxious for what is to happen next in Vegas.  How is Bobby going to play out in this?  Where is Chuck and Heather's parents.  Nephilm was mentioned at the end and hoping to have Brian explore more of what exactly he is.  Overall, I wasn't too sure in the begining if I would like it, but am glad I kept with it.  I'm still a little questionable about Heather and am hoping she'll come into her own in the next book, can't wait to continue the story
