adventurous fast-paced

3.0

Look. Low level teenage writing (as per target audience) but it’s fast paced and interesting!

In my reread of my teenage books loads better than HoN plot wise, however I don’t really like Claire or Shane and I need to like the main character and romance which must be why it was never my fave. The logistics and existence of vampires isn’t as believable as other worlds (no mention of magic so how come this town run by vampires isn’t found?). But it’s fun, shame Claire is a nerd and Shane is a slob!

It started off quite nice and interesting, I was actually looking forward to the rest... but soon it stopped. Claire apparently has a death wish (because hey there are bullies, just go to them and wave aka go to class while there are people who want to kill you *rolls eyes*), and is also quite negative about herself. Being smart is not bad, girl, really it isn't.

Also a town run by vampires... and 2% or so of the college kids just disappear and no one apparently cares that it happens every year? Wow.. those kids must be hated or have no friends/parents/people who care about them.

Mostly a jumble of plot holes and melodramatics, this vampire adventure does sport some sympathetic characters that I would be interested to follow if the overall writing was better. I’m a fan of Caine’s Stillhouse Lake series, but this one fell short for me.
