Appartient à la série
On her deathbed, Yani's Great Grandmother reveals she has one last story from her past to tell: that of his Great Uncle Yakov, who helped her survive the Nazis. It's a story of vampires and werewolves he can scarcely believe-and in the wake of his Great Grandmother's death, Yani realizes the story is far from over. The world of vampires and werewolves isn't a safe place for a human, even one with Yani's unusual family history. With danger at his door, the smart thing would be to run, but much like his Great Grandmother Yani has never been very good at running away-especially with his loved ones and the whole world at stake.

Let's start with the good things, shall we? I loved how many supernatural creatures there were and how each species interacted with the others. The main character is jewish and it's a big part of him, which was interesting, because I don't know much about jewish culture. Sadly the book got very lecturing at times and... honestly, I don't know why some information was in it. For example: Yani thinks about how Jews are not brawny (can you even say something like that about a people?) and then suddenly the reader gets told about Christoph Columbus and the Jews back then and I was like 'Where's the connection? Why do I need to know this now?'.
Even worse, I couldn't connect with Yani or the other characters. I didn't understand why he so readily accepts there are vampires (his uncle did the same by the way) and I didn't feel the romance. And of course Yani is a special snowflake - I won't tell you more, so no spoilers. Why can't we have MCs who are just normal human beings in a world of supernatural? It would make a nice change, that's for sure.
