About this title: Jamie Sommers has not had the easiest life. But neither the harsh circumstances of his childhood in an orphanage nor the rough, dangerous conditions he's faced as an adult smuggler can prepare him from his most terrible adventure of all: an encounter with a vampire. The YA author S.E. Hinton, best known for her classic THE OUTSIDERS, makes her debut into adult fiction with this modern gothic.

"This book had a wonderful storyline, good characters, nice writing style, but the chronological order seemed a little muddled and at times it seemed like a collection of short stories that were pieced together. Otherwise I really do reccomend this book for it's storyline that leaves a lasting impression on the reader."
"I really enjoyed this book but it's hard to say exactly why. Lately I've read a few novels with unreliable narrators and so, I half-expected this to be the same. In fact I was surprised that it wasn't. For fans of Hinton's, this book will be shockingly different. On the cover, the publisher uses the word "unpredictable" to describe the story. That is exactly what it is."
"I was a very big S.E. Hinton reader as a kid so I was surprised when I learned she had published a book recently for an adult audience. Unfortunately it was not as good as I had hoped. The story has a vampire theme but is kind of all over the place. I liked the way the time line of the story was broken up and came together. On the downside it seemed like she tried to make the characters too emotional and searching for deeper meanings where there really was none. I would not recommend this one as a far as vampire tales go, but may be interesting to a S.E. Hinton fan."
"I'm really disappointed! S.E. Hinton was one of my favorite authors growing up. I'd never heard of this book and thought I was in for a treat. Supposedly Hinton wrote this in response to the "Dark Shadows" series. Either way, I was disappointed. I'm all for a writer branching out...but normally when that happens you get the since that they are at least enjoying what they are doing. I felt like I was having my teeth slowly removed without novocaine and I can only imagine the writing of this book was much the same.
I wonder if S.E. Hinton will attempt another new novel. I'd take a chance on her again."
