(Book 1 in Almost Human Series)

I like this book and i will continue reading the next two and see how they will develope and if they will become interesting. But i found this book a little boring and not what i had expected. I feel like the book is like a soap, just without the exitment. There is not much happening in this book, you just hear about their day, which is boring.
If we talk characters i really am a little mad about why Cain just don´t kill Sindy, she is obviously a pain in the ass. And therefore i find him a little selfish for wanting to "keep her, if things doesn´t go well with Felicity". But his character also throws a couple of suprises. It wasen´t until long into the book that you find out that he is drinking animal blood. And that comes as a suprise because eventhough the way he live, i hadn´t expected that. A thing i really don´t like is the cover. I find it boring and weird, especially also because it is a vampire story. Now i know that the Twilight Saga also have black covers with not much on them, at least they are special and beautiful. And there isn´t much climax in the book, so you gotta hope that it will come soon, or in the next two books, because it is getting BORING!
