This novella is definitely not my genre, but I read it out of curiosity as I heard about it from a friend. The author tucked enough hints into the narrative that I was able to “get” the lifestyles of werewolves and vampires, not previously in my knowledge bank. This book is an easy read into which serious issues of prejudice and a world, catastrophe are woven. The affection shown between the two main characters is very endearing.
