This book is not for everyone in the sense that the mood is dark and some may not like it. Unlike more recent depictions, these vampires have no remorse. Main characters have sex, barely described.The female characters are not strong, independent, or otherwise positive characters. There is an attempted rape of the main character and a brutal rape of another girl. It is much more a horror story than a romance with graphic violence, including descriptions of the vampire murders of people and animals such as a pet dog. The book is very dated and pretty sexist. In fact the TV show and Twilight actually seem more similar. It bears no resemblance to the vampire sensation Twilight (other than that a vampire poses as a new high school student and a local girl falls for him). Parents need to know that this book, first published in 1991, has been loosely made into a TV show. One scene of students drunk at a school dance one drunken boy attempts to rape the main character and a drunk girl is raped by someone else.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content?
