After finishing this story, I see no reason that vampires were added to this other than to glom onto the Twilight fever. The recovering alcoholic main character is supposedly in her mid thirties, yet her thought process and reactions to her daughter make her seem barely older than the 16 year old girl. I think if I had been reading this rather than listening to it as an audio book, I would not have finished it. I am so very unimpressed with the protaganist (and the author) changing her mind about having been raped. Yes she was drugged, yes she doesn't really remember it happening beyond who did it. But since he says that she initiated it, and he hadn't known she was drugged until afterwards, and even though she knows that she was never attracted to him, and wouldn't have hit on him drunk or sober, she decides that she was wrong about being raped. "You were as much a victim that night as I was."I'm sorry, but this is a BIG DEAL, and whatever else I feel about the writing or the story (which is OK, not great, not bad, OK) I cannot give this a favorable rating because of the author's decision.If the woman is drugged, doesn't remember how it happened, and would never have initiated something in her right mind (and where's the proof that she did it while DRUGGED?) then it is rape. She was not in a position to give consent. You cannot actively make sexual advances when you've been drugged into losing consciousness, with only enough strength to run away afterward, slap his hands away when he chases after, and then pass out.
What do You think about Thirsty (2009)?
very interesting parallels between alcoholism and vampirism, a unique way to tie in religion also
