Was it goth? Heavy metal? Some weird fusion thing? No idea. This book is supposed to be centered around a vampire music scene, yet the music played was in no way described. The story moved along quickly and shallowly, and despite some heavy subject matter, it ended up feeling rather juvenile. But there was no depth to it, no character development. In this case, however, you would be quite wrong.
You would think NOTHING could possibly be cooler than combining rock 'n' roll and vampires. "What's cooler than a rock 'n' roll vampire?"
And, unsurprisingly, this book did not live up to its potential. Unsurprisingly, I was sucked in by this book's awesome cover and blurb. Pick this up for a book that doesn't pull punches. Kristen Strassel gives us a blend of Queen of the Damned and the Motley Crue biography with this novel, and it could not be more satisfying. He's unique, unapologetic, and a guilty pleasure like none other. I love his sarcasm, his ability to be good, but his choices to be dirty. You want to make him a good boy, but not really. He's the personification of sex wrapped up in a bad boy vampire body.
Tristan is a junkie, an egotist,a spoiled brat with something to prove. But it isn't Callie that makes me love this book. She's a regular girl, who I love but one that makes choices I hate sometimes. She's REAL, makes bad choices, does bad things, while not being bad herself. I love Callie, an 18 year old girl who makes 18 year old mistakes. It deserves to be a book.Ī lover of vampire novels, I always enjoy a new twist on the mythology or the circumstances, and Because The Night gives me that with a band of undead rock stars that rule Vegas in more ways than one. If I hadn't thought it was a solid idea with legs, I would have told Kristen to move on to some other project. I was the first person to see this book come to life, but that doesn't make me biased.
