review 1: What a great book. It's a classic proper vampire story - ie the vampires do not sparkle, and they are not nice guys, they are very nasty, and they have a nefarious plan that must be thwarted by the good guys. It has a bit of a Lost Boys feel, as it's set in a beachside town, and the protagonists are young and cute, but it has a lovely distinctly australian feel. Great characters, historical details, a few twists on vampire myths, beach, rock n roll, romance....all with an aussie accent. I found this book an immensely satisfying read.
review 2: I really enjoy Eager's writing style. I was initially hesitant about a vampire/surfing book, but given how much I enjoyed Raw Blue I decided to give this a go. I'm glad I did because even though I didn't love it as mu... morech as Raw Blue it was a really good read. Eager writes believable, engaging teenagers with realistic dialogue and a great pace. Again, her love for the costal life is evident in this story, and I enjoyed how she created a narrative that wove historical fact with vampire legend in a unique Australian story. less
