Helpful Score: 1
Westerfeld's vampires, aka 'Peeps', are a very interesting twist on the usual vampire tale. He actually has a great reason why they are the result of a parasite that doesn't end up in a hokey plot like some plots do. The suspense was great and it even got really creepy at parts, which I wasn't expecting, but was totally entertained by it.
The sex aspect of this story didn't bother me, since I actually found it to be a believable twist in the story. Plus, there's not any actual sex scenes as it's mostly just talking and kissing so only those who are easily offended will dislike it.
I also thought that the chapters that held actual information on real-world parasites were interesting. Some things I already knew, but there was also some others that I didn't or extra info I hadn't heard yet on species I was aware of beforehand.
Overall, this was an excellent story and I'm looking forward to the next book in the series.
