A fun entry in this series!

Etienne was fun. I laughed at his connection to Rachel and the fact that it kind of confused him at first. Even though there was some attraction, I also liked that he turned her at the morgue because she saved his life. Even though you kind of knew what way it was going to go, the fact that he was willing to make that choice was great. I laughed when he'd get jealous and everyone was like "so say something!" but he still couldn't figure out how to, since he was worried about Rachel wanting to stay.

Rachel was pretty great too. Even though it was a crazy situation and there was a body, I did think her choice to try and stop Pudge at the morgue shows a lot about who she was. Granted she probably should have tried a different angle to stop him but at the same time, there wasn't a lot of time to make a decision. Once she got over her initial trepidation(?) about things, I liked that she was more curious. I liked the tech talk that happened and how that was the way Rachel connected, but then the way she was able to start thinking about things on her own. Like the way she was able to get Etienne blood when Pudge showed up. I do wonder how she's going to handle her family when questions start flying though.

Since it was kind of a big deal, I wished there'd been a little more on Pudge and that connection. We got a few comments about how he'd kind of become obsessed after losing people but like, what made him think Etienne was a vamp in the first place? How'd he make that connection? I know there was a reference or two to Etienne's game but I just wish we'd gotten some explanations. Especially since once he got Rachel to his place, it was clear just how far gone he really was and I feel like that was something that needed a little more.
