I breezed through this in an evening. It was fun, gruesome and refreshing. Finally, some new vampire mythos that doesn't rely on sparkling and abusive relationships. 
 ... Anyway, my obvious Twilight hatred aside, I really did enjoy this story. I thought it was neat to play up on the distinction between the "traditional" European vampires and their "modern" American counterparts. And beyond that, I adored the setting. Sweet's part in the late 19th century was fun, even if it did veer a little too much on the side of Wild West Soap Opera for me. But Pearl's setting. Oh god how I adore things set in the roaring 20s. And this was no exception. 
 Anyway, I can't wait for Volume 2.
