Hope it's not following me
I really enjoyed this movie. Nowadays, it takes more than a jump scare and some blood to get me to hop out of my seat and pay attention. I need atmosphere and creep factor and this movie delivered.
The old "killer goes after those that have sex in a horror movie" rule gets turned on its head with a new and, dare I say it, modern perspective.

I loved the eclectic, old Polaroid quality of each shot, giving the movie a retro vibe while being futuristic at the same time -- setting the movie in no exact time frame.

This wasn't Patterson's best novel.

it was obvious to me from the beginning that the killers were hiding underground. i knew Samson was going to get hurt, but honestly i think the blood-lust would have been better if he died. (even though Samson is one of my favorite characters.) some of the scenes were just a bit too... descriptive... for me. both in the murder details and that of the rapes. i skipped a few pages. and he was incredibly repeditive with Nana-- she always had to have the last word. (dude. you said it five times. we've got it.)

i'm hoping the next one is better.

What a great, great book! I loved this from start to finish, even if I was confused in the beginning, what with all the species and their codes of conduct and all. Mercy was a very put together character; not too weak and not too strong to be unbelievable. While I do wish that authors in this genre would quit with the multiple love interests, Patricia Briggs managed it quite well, and I look forward to those developments (although I'm partial to Adam myself :P). I've already ordered Blood Bound from the library and can't wait to get my greedy little hands on it and other future installments! :)

A NA book that takes gorey details and makes sure you can picture it in your mind. This was not at all what I was expecting when I first saw the cover and began the book. Right away you are thrown into vivid details about murder and blood. It continues through the whole book.
The story is well thought out and has many dimensions that continue to influence it. While I do not understand how this could be considered a YA.
I think those who enjoy more gore, detail, and a story that is focused on darker aspects of vampirism will enjoy this story.
