Usually, I begin a review with a brief synopsis of the story and the major characters. With this novel, a synopsis would be difficult. If I understood the very subtle references correctly, this story exists in a world where vampires control pretty much everything - corporations, government offices, etc. And something very ancient and very large, housed under the earth's crust, is waking up and that's not good. The most powerful vampires believe they can use the creature to their advantage. Others believe it would be best to keep it resting and hidden.
There was much about the characters I liked. Loveable Roger whose life is turned upside down when his uncle is bitten by a vampire. Doris is the tragic female character who was turned into a vamp while still a slave and her lot in life has never really gotten any better. Gesine the wraith who is beholden to Doris and will do anything to help her. While the exposition of the story left quite a bit to be desired, the interactions and relationships between the characters were rich and captivating. But there were parts of the story that were downright confusing because that was no background or exposition given.
