What made me pick this book up: 

I saw it on Edelweiss and the cover definitely caught my eye. 

What did I like about the cover: 

The colors are absolutely amazing. I love the contrast between the blues and purples and the oranges and yellows of the sunset. 

What made me read this book: 

It was a graphic novel about a vampire. I love graphic novels and I'm always trying to find more of them. And I like vampires, so it was perfect. 

What did I like the most: 

I'd have to say that I like the art the most, it was absolutely beautiful and really well done. 

The story itself is just a little weird. Of course there are 5 issues in this volume, and the first one the vampire makes money as a cam girl, which is odd. At one point she turns into a shark. Also odd. The entire story was just a mashup of... odd vampireness.

The vampire herself was really pretty and had a badass I don't give a rats ass attitude, so that was kind of cool.

What didn't I like: 

Like I said, it was an odd mashup of just odd vampireness. It didn't make much sense to me, and though it only took me about an hour to read it, I was so confused by the end of the book.

Would I read the rest of the series/more from this author?
I don't think there is more, but no I wouldn't read anymore.

Just weird...
