An interesting modern twist on a classic horror monster. This book is an entertaining read which keeps you turning the pages with a well written quickly developing story.

4.0

Definitely was a page-turner for me but I had a hard time connecting with the characters. It was well-written but I felt some distance with the protagonists. The story kept my attention in the first half of the book but then it didn’t. Too bad because I love vampire/ zombie storylines.
