I was not at all impressed by this book. I feel no sympathy for any of the main characters. The bulk of the book is made up of dull filling material stuffed in between some (only slightly more interesting) build-up toward the inevitable final confrontation. I got this book as part of a humble bundle so I haven't read any other books by Mario Acevedo. I have no plans on reading the rest of the series, this book was more than enough for me.

The book is filled with frustratingly frequent descriptions of every single meal taken by the main character; I get the point: normal(ish) food with extra blood (cause he's a vampire). It feels like the only reason the author came up with the dietary part of his take on the vampire myth was to be able to add pages to the book as it adds very little to the overall atmosphere. When eating is not the main focus, it is guns (this guy really likes guns), then vampire myth stuff (which is slightly more interesting). I was a bit amazed at the extensive vocabulary used to describe anything remotely related to sex, although for the most part this was delivered as rather pointless filling material.

There were two things which I thought the author really managed to bring out: the shady military operation (that gave me the creeps several times) and most of what happened on Planet Pleasure (sadly this was only about 10 % of the book).
