This was such a good read, I absolutely devoured this book in a day, and I don't often do that.

A Vampire in modern London, who has escaped from her mum who has issues regarding being a vampire herself, by putting her in an elderly care home, as she was going mad after losing her teeth.

This really is a book about a dysfunctional family who are trying to live a somewhat normal life in spite of the fact they are vampires and keeping this a secret from everyone, and a big relationship with food, and sustenance.

This book made me hungry, her utter longing to want to be human and able to experience food, and the descriptions of coffee and also of noodles, made my mouth water.

I found that she felt like a real person trying to deal with the "demon" inside her, and being utterly unable to do so, but also that she at the beginning is naive and on her own in the world for the first time but she actually quickly learns the value of being strong and different. 

I also loved that this book did not overstay its welcome but also packed a massive punch.
