Hemovore is a well written, entertaining book to read. I'm not overly excited about vampire stores, but this one held together for me, largely because of a witty narrator, vivid descriptiveness, and a good suspense plot - particularly in the second half of the book.

But reading Hemovore was a little like leafing through someone else's photo album. Full of beautiful pictures, but of places and people I can't how to connect together. Price paints beautifully poignant scenes with breathtaking brevit

Okay, At first this book was hard to get into... but that's not correct. I think what I mean is that I was confused by what Mark was doing. Once it became clear about how life changed for everyone, the scope of the story moved beyond a guy with a "few quirks" to a civilization dealing with a major change.

Dear Lord. I’d become a celebrity in the goth-vampire freedom-fighter circuit.
Ha! I'm with you Mark.

Great vampire book for people sick of vampire books.

It is the only work of her that I read and would like to recommend!
A brave new world, were a lot of humans have died of an epedemy is not exactly a new idea, but a vampire living on the blood of cats? That is at least unusual.Like most of her work the story is well written and the romance has to develope, which is very nice.
