Wow! What a great read! This book is part vampire, part dystopia, part thriller/suspense, but full of meaningful ideas and well developed characters and lyrical writing. The author is skillful at keeping you reading throughout the 766 pages by separating the narrative in delineated parts as well as working up the suspense within an episode only to leave you hanging and moving to another scene before he brings you back to the resolution of where he left you before.

Without spoiling, be aware that this is the first of a planned trilogy, so even though the ending is wonderfully satisfying, you do want to get started on the second installment! Cronin's writing style is extremely visual and well-done.
