This story really tricked me! Showing all signs for a creepy horror story, the story suddenly turned into something completely different and became unexpectedly dramatic and sad. At the end, it left me feeling moody and sorrowful for a while. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to finish this on Christmas day...
his is definitely not your usual vampire novel, which is exactly the reason I like it so much. The idea of a secluded town ruled by vampires and their human 'daylighters' appealed to me, and it was fascinating to watch how this concept starts to crumble when some younger vampires decide to go against the strict rules and people start to disappear.
The many characters were well-drawn, and I appreciated the fact that even the good guys had their flaws and there was no tough hero to bring down the bloodsuckers. And while there was an action-packed showdown, it did not end with a straightforward victory on either side.
If you're looking for a vampire story off the beaten track, this might just be the book for you.
