It was time to look this novel ... he filled my PAL for a long time and reading it, I felt a sense of ... relief ... one less! O)
Quince is a girl of 17 who lost his parents very early in a car accident. Since it was his uncle who is responsible for her and together they try to run the family restaurant. Faced with competition, he decided to transform the restaurant into a place for vampires! A theme restaurant and the head cuisto getting down menus to imagine. Except that one night he is brutally murdered in the kitchen, while Quince is in the room next to ... and she heard nothing!
Obviously, the body has been attacked by a werewolf ... or a vampire transformed into a wolf, who wants to accuse the werewolves. It is the version of Kieren, Quince's best friend (who else would like a link between them), himself a werewolf and a witness who discovered the body first.
Quince is of course devastated, but the restaurant's reopening is announced, continue ... and hire another chief. This will be Brad, new cuisto, servant to play the vampire to meet the new theme of the house. And with his red eyes (contact lens) and fangs (plastic) is perfect in the role. More than a mere employee, he approximates more and more of Quince, encouraged by his uncle and girlfriend saucy thereof, excluding the poor werewolf ...
I do not tell the end!
I have a mixed opinion on this book ... I enjoyed the small part of the offbeat romance, seduction Brad who turns over the pages, the problematics of mutant vampires, rejected by the people, the effort of originality of the author ... Except that, in general, it remains on the surface ... boyfriend werewolves seemed very pale and I'm not totally hooked turnaround on Brad ... It's too simple, it's white or black characters and I would have preferred a little torn, mixed, a mixture of good and evil in them ... not only the good guys and bad guys! It lent itself to the plot completely elsewhere and that's why I think it's overused and it remains on the surface.
So in short, a novel not unpleasant to read but that leaves me a little taste of unfinished business ...
