Reyna Carpenter finished
school, but she can’t find a job. In this world ruled by vampires, her only
asset is her blood. So, to ease the burden of her brothers who work long hours
in a factory earning little money to support the three of them, she goes to
Visage to sign up for the body employment services. In other words, food for
vampires. Her brothers would throw a fit if they knew so she didn’t say
anything to them. But when she’s there, she discovers she’s eligible for a new
program, one where she doesn’t feed a vampire for a month then get time off
before rotating to another vampire. This new program is being tested with the
wealthy vampires first and she would live indefinitely with her Sponsor. Or
until such time as she wanted out of the program or her Sponsor terminates the
contract. It pays more, a lot more, so Reyna signs up. Her Sponsor is a top
executive at Visage, Beckham Anderson. Beckham is powerful, rich and handsome, but
he’s abrupt and acts like he doesn’t even want Reyna in his apartment. That’s
when things get even weirder.
This is a fascinating if
totally bleak world and it would have been a great story if Reyna and Beckham
could have been written better. I really can’t stand Reyna. What a twat. And
Beckham is a class A asshole. Sure, there’s some juicy stuff revealed later,
but for the most part this story just lacks all around. The bad guys are the
best part and I found the blood type thing incredibly interesting. However, it’s mostly blah and meh and, frankly, at times, pretty fucking dumb. I’ll take
a pass on the rest of the series.
The concept sounds pretty good too bad the characters weren't that great though.
