Vampires. Vampires keeping the "balance". Think secret organizations creating a special unit to keep the organization a secret.
The whole plot was pretty promising.
I just started to get annoyed with things getting repeated.
Like how Mr. Lawson "feels like he's 15" (repeated twice) and then "he feels like he's 14" (I thought you said 15, sir). How he goes on over and over again about Talya. It got to a point that I'm definitely sure that someone tried to "kick him in the groin", but "he deflected" by "raising his knee up" and then somehow "kicked back and rolled away" twice. Exactly the same. Oh and "headbutting the guy in the brow" too, happened twice.
Not to say it was bad, but... I don't like reading a completely new, never-before-read book and going "this is deja vu, where did I read this before? oh, just a couple pages ago."
The ending felt a bit anti-climatic. The whole "laws and forbidden stuff" sounded a bit strained and forced, so yeah...
It was a quick read too. Good for a rainy afternoon.
If you are big on editing and formatting though, avoid the Kindle version. Lots and lots of editing fail, missing words, poor formatting, and typos.
