And none of this explained well enough to be believable. I find it impossible to believe that you can start off desperate to kill vampires and in the span of about a week you don't care about school, you take on a job that makes no sense, fall in love and become a bit of a friend.

She moves too quickly between emotions with little development as to how this works. Sure, the story goes on, but people want some sort of pay off in the book they've already read that makes you want more. There's too much going on with poor explanations of the nuances so you don't know what is important, what isn't important nor where we're going with this and there are no resolutions. Imagine if you read Harry Potter and his eyes changed from blue to brown all the time, but somehow no matter the color, they were still his mother's eyes? Would you be able to connect with that information? Would you care? Descriptions of people change from chapter to chapter. I could fill in the blanks as all the characters are also archetypal bullet points, but that just reaffirms the point. We're told about their many facets, but I didn't actually 'see' any of them.

The characters are pretty one dimensional. I was intrigued by the idea if a priest turned vampire and a wannabe vampire hunter teaming up for supernatural battle and that's where the good stopped. In a nutshell, the plot is extremely interesting even if it reads as though we smashed different stories together to make this one. It would probably be easier to describe what is right with the book rather than what is wrong.
