This felt like reading two wildly different books. The first third or so was about a vampire explaining to his human love interest why becoming a vampire like him would be a bad idea (complete with lengthy woeful love-torn backstory), and it sort of made sense to have a present-tense narration to help differentiate between current events and the past.
The middle, however, veered off into a murder mystery with a vastly different tone, and the last third of the book very weakly seemed to tie both narratives together (as well as blatant setup for a sequel.) At this point, the present-tense narration that was maintained for the rest of the story felt awkward at best, and more awkward still when I realized that, though it was mainly written in present tense, a lot of (if not all; I wasn't keeping track) spoken descriptors remained in past tense.
My ebook (yoinked from Amazon during a brief period where it was offered for free) also had a few formatting issues where it felt like there was the end of a sentence or paragraph missing, as well as a few homonym mistakes. I also really do not understand the addition of the pictures randomly strewn throughout the narrative. Are they people I'm supposed to somehow recognize? No information is given; I'm just suddenly flipping the page to an unlabelled photo. Are they CG pictures? They're fuzzy and indistinct on my Kindle. The blurb at the end of the book leads me to believe they're deliberately presented in black and white, so I can't truly lay all the blame on the Kindle for this one. Truly, they're nothing more than space filler.
Final verdict: Though things started out as a potentially promising take on the "show the difference between Twilight-pires and 'real' vampires" genre, it petered out rather quickly. With a bit more polish, it might have fared better.
