There are books whose startup is slow but not this one! there is to fast forward ... we must integrate people and places in a few pages. I had the impression of having a réumé of the universe created by the author. Even then there are passsages where I would have liked more details, explanations but not always too fast ... And then there still has liberties with genetic manipulation. it made me really embarrassed. "Intimacy" I hate reading this ... sorry, but it blocks me ,. First sex scene and now this expression, well it cooled me on. Well, it was negative ... There is still positive! The story is not bad and it's an introductory tome ... In the end, I hung over, I felt that the pace was better and the story finally on track. It has original features (not about vampires, always really beautiful, struggling against a secret organization ...) but on other characters. So if you like when it goes fast, beautiful vampires (together, they would not be ugly ^^), things I can not tell you without spoiler ... it may please you ^^
