I thoroughly enjoyed this story because it's a story of a teenager boy learning to be a vampire. He must learn to control his desire for blood. Vampires are "in" right now and this story can be compared to Twilight but aimed at teenage boys. I enjoyed the mystery and how Tod uncovers many secrets that surround his family. This story also touches on stalking and who the main character truly is. We all try to find how each person that we meet actually is on the inside. It was a nice quick read.
Teenage boys need more books like this one. Twilight is aimed at girls and has hit the big screen. This story should become a film as well to draw more boys into the world of reading.
