Okay, they keep using the "Humans eat animals, Vampires should feel fine eating humans."

Thing is, when eating meat (especially when it's necessary) it's the MEAT that's needed. You COULD take a leg or wing and leave the animal handicapped because it won't come back. Vampires just need blood, they don't need to kill, blood can be remade in a few days/weeks, you wouldn't be handicapping them.

Get a new comparison

This book first came out in 2010, even by then I was conscious of the Bechel test. Not only have I not even SEEN one woman mentioned as a vampire, every woman (only three or four, of which only two really mean anything) is only referred to through a male character. Vlad's mom, Vlad's guardian (who's also a nurse, how predictable), Vlad's gf, Vlad's best friend's gf, and now there's the girl Vlad feeds off of. Ick

I really dislike Rory, and I'm just disappointed in Adelaide... but I'm gonna push through

This book is well written and interesting, but man, sometimes it's hard to read. I get mad at the character because the book starts with the end essentially so you know what's going to happen and it's hard to sympathize when you already know what's happening. And the main love interest just gives me such an ick factor it's wild. I'm going to push through, but eww.
