I’ve been looking for this book ever since I saw it online. I’ve looked for it in Powerbooks at Greenbelt but there was no copy. D: I was supposed to go to Fully Booked at Bonifacio High but thankfully I saw it at Gateway. SO WHHEEE~

This book is deserving of the high ratings its been given (although not perfect. I’d give it about an eight out of ten). David Sosnowski’s kind of vampire world is different from what I’ve usually read. Vampires do not simply co-exist with humans, they’ve overpopulated them to the point that humans are a rare commodity - farmed and harvested for the luxury and entertainment needs of a now-rampant vampire population. Normal things we take for granted today are auctioned on Ebay, requiring large bucks and a lot of time for shipping.

Enter Marty, one of the vampires that helped in increasing their kind and outbalancing the humans. When he’s bored of life (and quite ready to die, thankyouverymuch), what does he find?

A human girl on the streets.

And instead of taking her as a meal, he takes her in and takes care of her.
