Solid 4/5 stars!

I very much enjoyed reading this! When I saw the synopsis, i just new that I had to try and read this. I'm always on the lookout for new vampire books, especially in YA. The synopsis was intriguing and seemed to hold a lot of action and mystery that should be fun to get into. The very first chapter sucked me in -ha sucked- and I was really intrigued in how Amber would go about the situation. I quite enjoyed learning about how vampires work in this world, and I found it refreshing to know that even Amber didn't know all there was to her kind. I appreciated the fast-pace this book had, as it felt there never really was a dull moment once you got to meet a certain character. As soon as things really picked up, the book went by in a flash. The action scenes were quite fun, I loved Amber's sarcasm, the conversations she has with her "partner", and the little twists and turns spread throughout. While I enjoyed it, I wish there was maybe a bit more to flesh out everything between her mother and father. I get that it's the first book, so I can see why things would be left unanswered. That's just me wanting to get to know these other characters, who are important to Amber, a little bit more. Also, I didn't particularly like the final chapter. I definitely understood how and why it happened, but it felt quite sudden. It just, well, ended. Despite this, I'm actually interested to see how book 2 goes. I'll defiitely be picking up the sequel, as I'm really interested to see how things unfold!

I was immensely entertained by this short, fast-paced story of a vampire with a moral code, that sort of reminded me of Cracked. Amber Fang aims to be a librarian, loves the simple life of hunting monthly, and is a bit over tracking down new victims for every feeding cycle. Living a mostly nomadic life, her path intersects with a mysterious organization that is interested in hiring her for some difficult-to-get-to targets. However, as she gets further involved, she learns more about the secrecy (or lack thereof) of vampires in the human world, as well as the existence of others of her kind.

As I said before, this one is a short and fast read. The story is pretty straightforward, and introduces us to Amber and the organization called the League, which she is introduced to by Dermot, one of their agents. Her targets are high-level, and for the first time, she actually has trouble with hunts. But there may also be a target on her back, and allying with the League seems like the safest bet, until it isn't. The ending of the book felt a bit confusing as to the canon, but it is more a setting up for the next books than a proper conclusion. Nevertheless, it is an entertaining book with a humorous protagonist, and I look forward to reading more in this series.
