This book is indeed a really quick read. You basically go through it like water, but I must agree there are a lot of questions that go unanswered. This book is about Risika a 300 year old female shape-shifting vampire who is seeking revenge. She is still realizing who she is, even though it isn't hard to figure out that she is special. The setting goes back and forth from present to her past. I did like that at least it explained how she became a vampire and why she seeks revenge. Which I believe is a good reason to seek revenge. I did enjoy the relationship she had with Tora, although I wish we could've found out more about there relationship and how it came to be to understand why Tora was so special to her.

Considering the author was 13 when she wrote this story its understandable why the story lacked a few things and was a quick finish. Surprisingly considering the authors age there was no romance. So if that's what your looking for this is so not the book, but who knows where it will lead because this is just 1/4. I did enjoy the book and look forward to reading the next book to see if this is a series worth finishing.

I haven't picked up a Dean Koontz book in forever, so I gave this one a shot. I'm glad I did because I enjoyed it. It was creepy and weird, fast-paced, funny, had touching moments, and a little romance. I really enjoyed Del's character. She is a little loopy at times, but nonetheless I loved her vibes. She was so much fun! She made me enjoy this book even more. I feel the ending was a bit weird and I was like HUH... but it was cute at the same time.
