An easy read about the belief in vampires and being vampire like. It is a different take on vampires and talks about those who drink blood and those who let people drink blood from them. When Corky visits her dying uncle at his request he asks her to take his vampire book and read it. The book is written like a diary about his brother, Corky's dad drinking blood from people. The story is about the extended family as well. I expected there to be more of a story. It was an interesting idea just a bit too short for me.

This was an interesting tale. I enjoyed the different take on vampires. What I thought would be a Van Helsing story took a dark, modern turn.

What a weird book this was... I don't even know how to describe it, other than to say that it felt like there were several different stories going on at the same time, with interconnected characters, and no resolution to any of them in the end. The writing was fine - I finished it, after all, and relatively quickly even for me - but it looped over and around the different characters' perspectives in a meandering way that left me with a puzzled frown throughout. The book blurb describes it as a tale about an obsessive fraternal relationship and a bizarre inheritance. It is, but it's more about a broader concept of family and the quest for self identity than anything else, particularly about the bizarre, painful relationships of and among fragile, somewhat battered, people. Altogether odd, and the obsession mentioned takes things in a very weird direction that permeates the book in a way that still has me shaking my head. I'm really not sure what to make of this one...

This book is everything a psychological thriller/mystery should be! The author created characters that are well developed and a plot that moves along quickly! I found myself completely immersed in this one! Highly recommend!
