Not all that bad, I feel like some people were over exaggerating how bad this book actually was. There's real potential here for a fun and entertaining take on vampires.
However, this first installment drags it's feet in a weird way. We spend so much time dancing around the fact that this is a vampire book, when it's incredibly obvious, I mean the cover literally has a girl with a bite on her neck. There's also too much jumping around in the beginning, with so many characters and individual arcs being introduced. It should have been more gradual and less info-dumpy.
All that being said, the way the vampires are depicted is pretty unique, and I'm a sucker for vamp stories to begin with. I also like the mystery aspect that's included, makes the story a touch more exciting. The romance has potential, but felt rushed here.
Overall an okay read, and my curiosity is just piqued enough that I might continue.
