I am a fan of V:TM and was really excited when I found this at a local comic store. Anyway, this book/comic contains 3 different stories of the 13 Kindred (vampire) Clans. Toreador, Nosferatu, and Ventrue. The clans are portrayed well enough with how long the comics were. The stories, along with the illustrations, were immersive (and just a tad cliche.) I was even surprised a few times by a few twists in the Ventrue story. However, the Ventrue story left me a little confused and lost me a few times which is where I took points off. Overall, I enjoyed it.

horrible writing and cheesy storylines
