Book 25 of 52

Its funny how obvious it is when a man writes a vampire novel as opposed to when most women write one. There were no sparkling, brooding teenager vampires and no love story to speak of... yet. Though this book seemed to be a little younger than I normally... read, I feel like the next ones will become a little more intriguing. The first part of the book where the freak show was described, reminded me of a Goosebumps novel (horror type novel for younger kids), but once they explained how a vampire is turned it started to feel more like a Fear Street novel (horror novel for older teens with more gore and fear to it). I loved Fear Street as a child and that's why I feel this series may get better. 
Shan has great new ideas about vampires and I think those factors will make this series more interesting. 
All in all this book was an easy read that kept me involved through out and I am looking forward to seeing how the characters grow and what becomes of Darren and Steve's friendship.
