Well, this is def an interesting take on vampires, elbow sex, wrist scratching and all. It is so creepy the way the remaining humans (hepers) are treated it gave me goosebumps. There were a few issues I had with the plot (how are vamps made in this world if a bite kills hepers/humans) but they may be resolved in the next book. Issues aside, I couldn't put this book down. Gene, the main character is a human pretending to be a vampire. I don't see how he could pull it off-no facial hair, no expressions, no smell, no laughing, being able to see perfectly at night, etc. but it did make for some edge of your seat situations. There is some very unexpected romance, but it just added to the appeal and mystery of what will happen next, and how they will get there. I enjoyed being in Gene's head, he had a voice that pulled me in, and it was refreshing to read from a male point of view. This is fully violent, totally consuming, and there are plenty of twists and lots of action that kept me glued from start to surprising finish.
