Fast read and amazing main character
"I'm going to be completely hones, I don't like vampires, and I actively avoid vampire stories. The reason why I read this one is because I have read Athalia's other works, and they are such amazing writers. I don't regret it. It was a great story that I enjoyed a lot. After losing his family to vampire hunters, Nosuë has spent the last 400 years wandering the land without a place to call home. That is about to change when he meets a very particular couple. Ronald, the man, is thrilled about being face to face with a real vampire, but his wife is anything but happy about it, so we get to see how Nosuë deals with her rejection while living in their attic. Nosuë has a great personality. He's a gray character who is a vampire and understand that he's what he is, and doesn't pretend to be anything else. However, being a predator doesn't mean he has to be a monster. He's a gentleman, someone who despises crime and violence, and feeds only when he must and trying not to hurt his prey. However, humans are still prey to him. Having been born in a flock of humans used as food by vampires, he knows all too well that this is the way things are. Being written in first person, I was totally hooked to his personality and all I wanted was to know more about how he thought and felt, about his past and his future. In the end, I was rooting for him to stay with Ron and Taneka because all he longed for was to have a family once again. Taneka and Ron are also very interesting characters, and they both represent a different side of how humans view vampires. Ron is fascinated by them, and he is doing research on them, and Taneka is afraid of Nosuë. This contrast is great, because Nosuë has to deal with this situation. Ron is writing a book on vampires, using Nosuë as a source of information, and Taneka wants her quiet life back, away from vampires and other nightly creatures. Nosuë doesn't want to make her feel bad, so there are some moments where he is truly conflicted by this. The story doesn't have many descriptions, and only focuses on what's necessary, and I really loved that. You still get a clear idea of what's going on, but the reading is fluid and fast, and it's such a pageturner because of that. The conflicts that Nosuë goes through, and not knowing whether he will eventually stay or not, kept me wanting to read more and more to see how it all ended for him. In my opinion, it's a great story, perfect to get out of reader's block as it's so quick paced and fluid, and the characters are just great."
