An atypical Vampire heroine and other characters make this highly detailed view from a transition between mortal, immortal, depraved humanity and vampirism and all flavors in emotion. This goes for many of the characters. The treatment of human characters other than that of the heroine is somewhat shallow. Treatments of the vampire characters are deep and detailed. Thus the humans seem shallow, and the vampires have more character. This is diametric to the normal vampire genre, and quite refreshing. There is steamy sex, butchery, finesse, exhilaration, drug dependence, love, hate, jealousy, revenge, depression, murder, salvation. I found the book to be a little wordy, but who cares if it's fun to read anyway? Makes the experience last longer.I would recommend it to others and wait impatiently for more.
