This book wasn’t scary to me, but the multiple perspectives shown here are bloody interesting. 

It makes me ask myself- what would I do to provide for my family? What would I do for my children? Would I care for my vampire child?

I felt sympathetic to everyone in this one, even when their desperation turned deadly. 

The ending was…odd though, which is my major gripe.
