Oyceter's review
Companions of the Night by Vivian Vande Velde
I really loved the vampires in this book; they actually feel like they've lived for quite some time, as opposed to psychologically being a high school student for centuries. I particularly loved the moral ambiguity of the book, that the threat to Kerry felt real and immediate, and the lack of romanticization. This is what a vampire-human relationship might work out if vampires were real.

I adore VVV; did you ever read A Hidden Magic? Illus. by Trina Schart Hyman and their aesthetics are totally MFEO. I haven't read this book, but will clearly have to now.
