Underemployed by day. Undead by night.

Underachieving film theory graduate and vampire Fortitude Scott may be waiting tables at a snooty restaurant run by a tyrannical chef who hates him, but the other parts of his life finally seem to be stabilizing. He's learning how to rule the Scott family territory, hanging out more with his shapeshifting friend Suzume Hollis, and has actually found a decent roommate for once.

Until he finds his roommate’s dead body.

The Scott family cover-up machine swings into gear, but Fort is the only person trying to figure out who (or what) actually killed his friend. His hunt for a murderer leads to a creature that scares even his sociopathic family, and puts them all in deadly peril.

Keeping secrets, killing monsters, and still having to make it to work on time? Sometimes being a vampire really sucks.

I really enjoyed this book, I think it was much better than the first one.

I loved Fort in this one, he wasn't as pathetic and he was definitely coming into his own and didn't let people push him around this time. We get to learn a lot more about the Scott family in this book and about how Fort is different from his other siblings. I love the vampire world the author has created and how vampires are made. I haven't seen a book does it like the author has done.

Suzume is back in this book and she is still my favorite character, I love her personality. We learn a little bit more about the kitsune which will most definitely come into play in later books.

I loved the ending and this book was definitely better in writing and it fleshed the characters out more and I'm excited to go and read the third book. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I would definitely recommend this series to anybody looking for a fresh take on vampires while still keeping the vampire feel.
