Review: I liked this one a lot because of the main character

Bran definitely stole the show in this story for me, which considering the fact that he is the main character in this book is a good thing :). I was about to write that this book also has unusual take on vampires, but I am not really sure that all together it was so unusual, I guess I will settle on saying that it has some unusual touches on vampire lore and on human/vampire relationships.I loved that such strong and mature character was the star of this show. I have read so many stories where one or both guys whine, whine and oh my goodness *whine* all the time while facing adversity in their lives. Or if you like angst (and I often do), you can say that they are angsting all the time :). But it was such a breath of fresh air to read about the character who definitely had been through a lot, suffered a lot and while of course he felt deeply, he turned his life around and just kept going and helping others too. It was also very refreshing how Bran managed to turn his life around without the love of his life being around and when Bran and Heath meet again they meet as more equals.I liked Heath too, and appreciated that he acted his age, but I do think that Bran is portrayed in more depth absolutely.If I were to offer any criticism at all, I would say that each chapter feels a bit abrupt? I guess like collection of the short stories even though it is definitely not? I have read this point in the review elsewhere and having finished the book I definitely agree with it, but regardless I recommend this story.
