This was a most enjoyable book. It is a story about addiction, secrets and lies, reminding the reader that to a certain extent this figures in all our lives. The book is quite light and humeurous at the start but gets darker as the story progresses. The writer challenges our previous concept of where the vampire novel should be set and indeed what vampires should be. An addictive? and entertaining read.

I just love Matt Haig. This is a fun story of the ordinary meets the extraordinary and I keep finding myself thinking about the characters and itching for a re-read.

Not nearly as good as most of his others. I was invested enough to finish, but not by much.

A very interesting idea, well thought out with good call back and foreshadowing. I didnt really know what to imagine 
during the fight scenes when they were flying. Are they humans? Are they bats? It seemed a little funny to think of humans just flying above north yorkshire, talons locked, in a swirl of doom.
overall really enjoyed, like most of Matt Haigs work :)
