Librarian’s Review:
It’s been a while since I read the first two books in the series so it took me a little while to really get into this one but once I did…it flew by! Vlad is starting Tenth Grade and his life is changing: he is having urges to feed on humans, he feels like he is losing his best friend, his Uncle is leaving him alone when he needs him most, he’s having horrible nightmares, and there is someone after him AGAIN!
Although the writing can be too simple at times, Vlad’s story is maturing, becoming darker, and becoming more complex. Sometimes there is is maturity about him and sometimes he seems like a kid. Maybe this is the point, maybe in tenth grade you are confused and sometimes you act like an adult and sometimes you pout like a kid. The last quarter of the book is really intense and there is so much too tell but then I would give away too much….so I won’t!
I will say how I love how Vlad is starting to branch out in his friendships…he makes friends with the Goth kids who think that Vlad is Goth. They say, “You are so Goth you don’t even KNOW you’re GOTH!” It’s pretty funny. I can’t wait to see what happens next and how his friendship with Henry evolves.
