This one made me snicker a bit with the vampire references. I like how it's a joke but at the same time with the existence of sensitives and the different advanced technologies and "beauty" sculpting services they have in this future world it's also not as far of a reach. Sure, actual vampirism isn't happening, but you can get that much closer to being like one. But for me, it made this bad guy a joke. Even with references to the sociopath Eve and Roarke see in him; the connections to her past and her dad - he's just a joke. A dangerous joke, but not someone I ever really saw as a real threat to Eve.
As always I enjoyed the relationships and characters - Peabody was especially great. Her "new-ager" was showing a bit in her reactions to the "vampire." Looking forward to reading more soon!
