Probably not the best entry point into the author's works, this seems to be a backstory novella released to provide information regarding some of the main characters in a longer novel series. HOwever even baring this in mind it fails to capture the attention and highlights failings in style rather than interest.

The world seems to be heavily populated with non-humans, vampires, witches and werewolves, and this novella introduces demons too. Keeping the intersections distinct is critical at maintaining reader belivability but this isn't well handled. The main character is a young vampire with extra special abilities beyond those of normal vampires, for reasons un-explained. He meets a young girl and decides to protect her instead of trying to eat her (ditto reasons). Falls in love, blah blah blah you can guess all the rest. It's just clunky both in the characterisation, but also in the prose with several sentences being grammatically challenging to comprehend.

Potentially interesting to a YA audience looking for another vampire world, but doesn't bring anything to entice readers familiar with the genre. ( )
