I saw many contradicting reviews, which got my interest peaked.Firstly, I loved this story. The story is more about the main character, Nathaniel, rather than a traditional vampire story - it just so happens that he's a vampire. And the love triangle with Faelynn and Martha is intense. I like Martha more at this point... I'm sure their story has a long way to go!What a breath of fresh air in the vampire arena, compared to the same old, same old stories out there now. I can certainly see how maybe the larger words could scare some readers (I admit, I used my Kindle dictionary several times), but I feel smarter because of it. Shouldn't reading challenge us, too? And the negative reviews about overuse of words - I loved it. It was almost like poetry at times.The story is dense, but it's like a pilot to a TV show - all the characters and their paths are clearly laid out. I'm now reading book 2 to see where they will go. I'm glad I went with my gut for this purchase.
