This is sort of a vampire book, but mostly a book about addiction. It was interesting the way the writer paralleled alcohol addiction to the vampires thirst for blood. Don't read this story expecting there to be a vampire romance though. I would have liked for the vampire aspect of the book to have been a bit more fleshed out, so that I could have cared about him just as much as I came to care about the main character. It almost felt like two separate books that were interwoven into one story. It worked, but they also would have been interesting independent of each other, especially Nina's story. Over all I really enjoyed the story.
