While this was a good idea of a new approach to the old I-was-a-teenage-vampire novel, it was ultimately unsatisfying. To help him not become a blood sucking freak? Can he trust his friends and family NOT to lynch him, if that happens? Should he trust Chet a self described celestial being? As his hometown prepares for the annual Sad Festival of Vampires with an ancient ritual (held in a Whitehen Pantry) that keeps Tch'muchgar, the Vampire Lord locked into a prison world, Chris seems to be turning into a vampire. People are wary of vampires, and lynch them when they find them. In Chris's world, vampires have always existed. Which will he trust?Īn interesting take on the whole vampire legend. But soon he finds out that Chet might not be who he told him he was and is faced with the difficult choice to trust the man who seems to have all the answers or to trust the rest of the world and his gut. The only way he can stop the transformation is to stop the vampire king from escaping from the underworld the humans put him in to save them and their family. When he meets a costal being named Chet who tells him he is becoming a vampire.

The smell of blood begins to call to him and make his throat burn. Soon he becomes moody and can no longer see his reflection. This book is a chilling story that tells a story of a boy who has an average life until he begins to feel a thirst that can not be filled with any liquid that he tries. M.T Anderson is a vary talented writer I love her work. I stayed up many nights past 2 am just because I had to find out what happened next.

It keeps you on the edge of your seat and I found it hard to put down every night so I could go to bed.

This book is a very well written book and I would tell any one who liked twilight saga to read this book it has a good vampire lover theme to it.
