Marvelous!!

I can only say that this book promises to be very promising and wonderful for fans of the genre.
I believe what the author did here was a retelling of vampires, we know that this is a topic that has been highly exploited and that their are rare cases where new stories stand out, but I believe that this is one of them.

the story in itself is very well crafted, well detailed and contextualized causing us to be able to really imagine accurately the scenery, which to me is very important, another plus point to comment is the main character of the plot, she's not a simple random girl with a perfect life, she has "real" problems what makes us sympathize and identify with her, without counting the dry sense of humor of character that brings in a few laughs amid a tense reading.

While reading the book we are able to identify a lot of the book's author in some passages, for example in the passage about the Klingon language, simply brilliant.
This story is not so much romanticized, it seems more raw and scientifically, explaining in a totally innovative way what would the blood drinkers would be, it's like was thrown a new light on the myth of vampires. I have to confess that for me was a huge surprise and great pleasure to see it.

I can't wait to be able to read more about this amazing story!
