First off let me say I have a major love hate relationship with this book, but in the best way possible! I am from South Carolina so most of this book was like going back to my childhood and made reading it that much better for me. I was able to relate to it on another level than most. Sadly some parts that I could relate to I wish I couldn't. Let me explain... the men in this book think the women are only good for one thing and that is raising babies and keeping the house... unfortunately in some parts of the south this is still true. I grew up seeing this , not in my own family but in people around me. I also grew up seeing racism worse than it was shown in this book, it gave a small glimpse in a flashback but to be honest racism is unfortunately alive and rampant in the south which is part of the reason my husband and I moved away. We chose to raise our daughter somewhere that people were treated better.. its not perfect here in Indiana but it is better. So anyway, reading how the men degraded the women really bothered me but it was necessary for the story and it was truthful for the time. Now for the rest of the story... I loved loved it all !! It had me up all night reading and took over my days. The suspense and mystery were so good and kept me wanting more. The vampire had me loving and hating him throughout this story and the entire time I was rooting for Patricia. Patricia has to be the strongest mama bear I have ever seen! Don't mess with her! This is by far one of the best vampire stories I have read and I cannot wait to read more from this author!
