I received a copy of this book from the author via goodreads giveaways. This does not influence my review in any way.
As far back as I can remember I have had a fascination with vampire stories. Seeing as I’m only human mortality is something I ponder quite a bit; which is probably why vampire tales can be so fascinating.
This book starts off with a man beginning to recount his life story. The book is rich in historic detail and it is so easy to picture the scene painted on the page. But unfortunately this was a very slow narrative and it was hard for me to read very much at once without nodding off.
There were parts of the story where the action was indeed captivating but those instances were few and far between. And though it was well wrote, when the speaker would change the voices were interchangeable because nothing much set them apart from one another.
If you want a look back at historic Minnesota then you will enjoy this book. If you’re looking for a fast paced vampire tale, this is probably not going to be it.
