This book was unexpected and a great read. It isn't your typical vampire story but it's a neat tale about the world of vampires as a species. The author takes you through the journey of a girl with amnesia, who is half human and half Ina. The author integrates human social issues throughout the book of race, gender, class and even a spice of sexual relations. Some critics believe that molestation lies throughout the book, but if you believe that, then it may mean you don't believe in vampires and the world of their own. The author sets new rules and a new lead - a black woman. Vampires are often caucasian men. To me, this story has parallells to the movie X MEN 3: The Last Stand. A struggle of between the mutants and the humans. Easily, this book could be made into a movie. As for the book club discussion, you can address this book from so many approaches beginning with the social issues represented among the Ina vs. human social issues through the classification of this book in science fiction vs. other science fiction the club members may have read. Enjoy!
