- Reading
- As this is part of a series, consider whether to recap earlier character relationships together first. Pause at tense scenes to check in, then let the reader decide whether to continue or take a break.
- Themes
- Power and human exploitation: The book addresses power and human exploitation; the detail of how it is developed remains unclear. The premise sets survival against an exploitative social order.
- Trust and betrayal: Mel turns to Sebastian, described as her mentor and friend as well as her betrayer, because he may provide access to a possible cure. The plot puts dependence on a distrusted person at the centre of one search for help.
- Infection and identity: Lily has been exposed to the vampire virus and is in a coma; Mel is becoming more purely vampire. The characters’ changing conditions add personal stakes to the search for a cure.
- Worth knowing
- These perilous elements may merit a check-in.
