My initial reaction to it was "my how the turns have tabled, again" I really thought it was some sort of vampire thing, and I would be super cool if it were, since it seemed all not present and just parasite like, not a romanticized version of vampires. Gotta love it when people do vampires right, ala The Strain. ;)

None of that "Oh, I'm 500+ years old, and a monster, but I am helpless next to my feelings for this bland teenage girl!" crap.

It's actually really quite rare to find a well done version of vampires in fiction. Doesn't matter if it's books or TV, people always seem to think that Stephanie Meyers had it right, and they should just..........god, I don't even know what to call.......whatever it is that they do.

I always liked Anne Rice's vampires. Still romanticized, but also perfectly aware they're dangerous and immoral ect.
