2.0

I'm torn about my opinions after reading this book. On one hand I loved the vampire characters, especially Henry. On the other hand I severely disliked our main protagonists Sloane and Naomi. 

For a book that's supposed to be about vampires it seemed to focus more on the petty bickering friendship between the two main characters than the more interesting backstory of the vampires around them. 

I wanted to spend more time learning everyone's histories, the lives they'd lived surviving as vampires for centuries, how they get blood and travel in a modern world where everything is being recorded and uploaded at light speed, and delve more about the mysterious Feeders. 

Instead, the majority of the book feels like a disjointed road trip focusing on a pointless argument between two women who say they're best friends but act more like jealous rivals. 

I really wanted to like this book but in the end it felt too slow and fragmented for me to fully enjoy.
