I choose this book first because I loved the title, it was clever and hinted of vampires. I wont say it isn't a good book, but I will say that I was disappointed in it. There is no question that Joe Hill is a good writer, he is just not to my taste. It could be I am of the wrong generation for his writing. The story is very interesting. I really liked where the story went and it was definitely a fresh take on the vampire storyline. My real complaint would be that it didn't seem to have much in the way of back story, it moved right along but left me wanting details. I wanted to know more about the characters and to have more interaction with them when they weren't involved in the action of the story. For a younger reader (15 to 30 years old) it might be a great read as the younger generation absorbs their information in smaller bites and at a quicker pace. I like to linger in a story, spend time in the world with the characters. Not a bad book, but not a good one either.
