Night Road is a different take on the old vampire genre. Cole is a vampire, but his kind does not like that term. They prefer to be called hemevores, since they rely on the omnivores of the world to provide the blood they need to survive. Cole reluctantly sets out on the road to train a new heme named Gordo, with the help of Sandor, the heme who accidently turned Gordo to his new lifestyle. Gordo is not adjusting well to leaving everyone and everything behind him, and Cole and Sandor know that they must train him in survival and their ways before he gets himself and others killed.
I enjoyed this book. It is not one that is full of action, but it is a fast-paced read. The author focuses more on character development than anything else. It is easy to feel a connection to Cole. He is the tortured soul who regrets the choices he made in his past. Sandor is more lighthearted and well-adjusted. While Gordo is sullen and unlikeable at times, the reader can forgive him since he is tryng to adjust to the loss of everything dear to him.
