Industry Reviews

A mesmerizing first novel that depicts the romantic but perilous love between a lonely girl grieving for her dying mother and a reluctantly immortal vampire who has spent centuries trying to avenge his mother's gruesome death. While Dad spends all his time in the hospital with Mom, now a pallid shadow of the vibrant woman whose paintings were "charged with bold emotion," Zoe - always a contrast to her mother, "a dark one. . .a mystery" who "wrote quiet poetry suffused with twilight and questions" - broods at home and goes for night walks. She first meets Simon, who "looked like an angel in a Renaissance painting," in a deserted park by moonlight; in chapters that alternate between her point of view and his (letting the reader in on his grisly hidden life and eventually his past), the two establish a delicate, frightening relationship that builds to startling concluding events. Klause's sensitively drawn characters fit precisely in their exquisitely balanced roles; with lyrical writing and a rich sensibility, she makes Simon not only horrifying but profoundly sympathetic. A fascinating story. (Kirkus Reviews)
