Vampires use thrall  to put people under their spell, and this book did the same to me. Rafe  Sinclair is the type of character that readers are going to love, hate,  and feel all spectrum of emotions for, but the end result will be that  he fascinates them, regardless of how they feel.”Sara’s Organized Chaos:“It’s  haunting, it’s lonely, it’s romantic, it’s wistful, it makes your heart  feel. I cannot even tell you how much I loved this book. I literally  couldn’t put this book down.”Book-alicious Mama:“The Color of Lightis an ambitious novel, combining art, vampires, and one of the darkest  chapters in our history. It’s a book unlike any I’ve read and I highly  recommend it.”The Jewish Standard:“The Color of Lightis a poignant love story that brings us into the lives of Manhattan art  students, Holocaust victims, and vampires…the writing and sensory  descriptions painted in this book are beautiful, with twists and turns  in the plot that will keep readers captivated until the final page."Bookish Whimsy:“Achingly  romantic.
