First and foremost this is not a typical vampire love story. This is the story of how one mans life is turned upside down after he sees something he will never forget - a man hunched over a young woman, drinking blood from her neck days after the liberation of Paris.
However this story is about more than just vampires - its about blood - and more particularly, the human fascination with blood.
A unique blend of historical fiction, gothic themes and constant suspense that is reminiscent of his Young Adult roots, Marcus Sedgwicks first novel for adults is the creepiest thing I have read all year. So vividly described that you can almost taste the blood as you read!
I would strongly recommend this book to anybody wanting a real vampire story. Something that will keep you creeped out long after you put the book down!
