It was just a little too rushed for my taste. Nick was also rushed out of the book as was Thomas. One sentence wiped her out and I thought she was an important character. Chara, who was part of the Mavericks, was written out of the story with hardly a mention. The other characters who were in the first part of the book, conveniently took a disappearing act with just a sentence. "Oh, poor me." I wanted to shake him and yell in his face. I kept wondering when he was going to pull up his pants and accept what had happened to him. I understand that he was turned into a vampire against his will and that he was saved from killing a homeless guy by this group of people who called themselves, "The Mavericks". The characters are not well-developed and are one-dimensional. It was pages of whining and drifting from one scene to another. I kept hoping for something to spark to get the story moving. Sadly, I can't go any further than just these two stars. I hate to give any book two stars because I know how much work and thought goes into writing a novel. Just be warned, it is long and will definitely have your emotions on a roller coaster. This book is for those that like vampire stories and are willing to read another perspective on it. The cover is awesome and after reading this book, it makes a lot of sense. They each had a significant role in the story, but at times it got confusing as to who was talking or whose thoughts were being broadcast. I felt like there were too many characters. I liked the interesting take on the story, but it felt like it was very drawn out and excessively wordy. It really explains why we see them as brooding. It takes the usual vampire story we are used to and adds many, many layers of sadness. This book was soooooooooooooooo depressing.
Together with his new friends, a "vampire police force," they set on the journey to capture the madman that is turning humans for his sick pleasure. Sorrows by Donna Fernstrom is the story of Jayson "Jay" and his transformation into what he considers a monster.
