An unexpectedly good read. Having a dark sense of humor and a penchant for things vampire, demon, werewolf, or otherwise supernatural, I always investigate the few dark fantasy books I find.

The plot was good and I liked how it twisted, but the book could have done with a little less tedious dialogue.Overall, the book was good...not great, but good.

I found this book in the back corner of my favorite shop, hidden behind several larger books, probably forgotten by whoever hid it away. I thought it might be a good read for an upcoming trip. Now it's one of my favorite books. I can totally relate to the main charector. If I met Amelia, I'd shake her hand on this book. Very good.
