I see that a lot of people really like this book. I'm a vampire fan, a big one. Human No Longer presents an interesting tweak on the vampire and another one on the newly turned to the life. Jenny, who has dealt with horror before, loses her husband and her humanity in one evening. The opening is a little slow, but the story builds nicely until I was so invested in the characters I will make an effort to see if they show up again. This is not Dracula, in any incarnation, nor is it Twilight (for which I was infinitely thankful). This is small town America under attack, and not for the first time; and vampires at their inhuman best. The author knows her small towns, their closeness and their annoying ability to get under the skin of the newcomer, even if the adults are returning natives. Jenny's kids are well rounded and believable, as are her brother and love interest. This is an enjoyable read and since I frequently re-read things, Human no Longer will be on that return to list.
