We have here an interesting tale of vampires that can walk amongst us unknown, even during daylight, a plague that started just a decade ago. They are weaker by day, but it does mean people can't go out by night, and people are tired of hiding when the sun goes down. Most vampire are called half bloods, since they are made by other vampires but there are a rare few that are born that way. Hayan is one of those. A priest discovered her as a child and took her in, teaching her how to control her vampire nature so that she can go out and live amongst the rest of us humans.

Hayan is a wonderful character, kind and bubbly but also wanting to protect those around her, even at the risk of exposing who she really is. I also liked the priest, I mean how many Fathers can yank out a flame thrower from behind his back and take on an entire pack of vamps. Ok ok, there's quite a few of those in vampire hunting movies and books, but I still really liked him, especially as he's taking out those vampires to protect his own. And then there's the cop who suspects who Hayan really is, he's a little annoying and over the top but I'm sure he could grow on me. I've only read the first book so far so will see where things go!

As the series progresses it turns into those classic anime/manga bad guy of the week kind of thing, where the bad guy spends half the time talking about how amazing he his and how weak his opponent is and then he has to pause to wonder what the F is going on as he gets his butt kicked. And the twist on Euntae's background I had more or less suspected from the beginning but was still a fun reveal. The twists don't end when we discover who God is. This series can go to some dark places.

It will be some time before I get my hands on the rest of the series which maybe aren't even translated into English yet but I do enjoy it enough that I want to see what happens next. After all, once you wipe out all the other vampires and you're the only one left...what do you do with yourself? Once you vow to destroy *all* vampires do you include yourself? Guess we'll see!
