I was very interested in this book. I thought the premise sounded intriguing.

The humans are not at the top of the food chain. Not by a long shot. And the vampires (here known as Nymars) are not interested in romancing anyone. There are mongrels and half breeds and full breeds. All of them stronger and faster than the monkeys (i.e. humans.) But there are a few humans who know about the monsters and try to at least hold the worst of them back. One of the ways they can do that is these special blood blades.

I really wanted to get into this book but I just couldn't. The story is fairly interesting, and different enough from the other urban fantasies. I just personally couldn't find a good rhythm with the story. After several attempts i've give up.

I do think that other people would be able to enjoy it though. Just not me personally.
