This is a good read if you're keen to return to the gothic style of vampirish stories, which more recently has taken a modern slant. A 17 year old boy, Marek, searches for his half sister, Oleander, and along the way discovers some very strange skills. Snippets of love there, but mostly he has to deal with his personal demons as well as 'the grotesque ones' who want to destroy him. Dramatic, not overly fast paced, but characters unusual and intriguing. Worth the money....
