It kept me hooked, but, in the end, I don't think I liked it very much. The "evil" character came across as too flat, too unbelievable, and the plot bounced off of a dozen clichés.
Overall, I liked the main character, and the author's writing style and descriptionthere was a part in the middle that described a plastic bag skirting over a sheet of ice like a "tired ghost"but the plot lacked substance.
It was too shallow to really be worth keeping.

I read this book because it was being compared to every author and book I have only the highest opinions for. But I was very disappointed after reading it. It certainly can't be compared to Amelia Atwater-Rhodes or the book "Blood and Chocolate." No, this book was very stereotypical of vampires and didn't really stand out from your average, non-outstanding vampire story. I felt as if I had read this story already a hundred times in all of the different vampire books I've read. Nothing new.

From back cover - I lay awake a long time trying to sort out my feelings. As much as Vincent fascinated me, he made me uneasy. More than once I'd caught him looking at me with an intensity I didn't understand. His eyes were dark, unreadable - did he find me attractive or simply amusing" It was hard to imagine a man his age being interested in me, yet I could have sworn something intangible quivered in the air between us, a knowledge, a familiarity, a scary sense of destiny fulfilled.

The book creeped me out...the grown man vampire preying on the little brother was a bit much for me. That and the story was just rather boring.
