jaedia's review
Did not enjoy the paedophile perspective. At all. Why? I'm sure something comes of it later but ew . The writing style was fine enough to read but the story itself just felt too mundane and I couldn't get interested. None of the characters were interesting to me, or loveable. Even when the vampire attacks somebody there was no excitement there, I didn't feel gripped, no suspense. I was just bored. Decided not to waste my time further. It may well pick up but many books to read, little time!
