suze_1624's review against another edition
4.0
I won this boook from the author on Sid Love's blog - and I will be buying books 2 & 3!
It is a futuristic vampire story so not my normal fare but the future is near (2042) and is fairly normal except that vampires have been living alongside humans for about 10 yrs (though discord about this in the US is kind of begging for another story). The vampire bits are shown more as a secret weapon in tracking criminals so ultra keen vampire story lovers will probably find it a bit lacking - I thought it was fine.
It is a murder story and whilst this is played quite well, I did find the murders identity a bit of a let down as they hadn't appeared in the story and it could have been anyone
it is also the story of Andreas wooing Xavi, though it is not a hearts and flowers wooing.
I rated at 3.5/3.75 as there was more I wanted from the story (more on Andreas's background, the US issues and the murder issue) but it was quite a gripping and entertaining read, well written, and certainly makes me want to see where the story arc goes and to see if my questions are answered.

Very interesting, and a different view of vampires!
It took a while for me to like Xavi. I liked Andreas from the start. :)
It was a hopeful beginning for the both. I'm sure that in the other two books, their relationship would be more explored. I liked Rico, too. Entertaining!
