YES. Darlings, vampire psychology should be complicated. MY psychology is complicated and I am an American teenager who has never tasted any blood but my own. I don’t have a problem, per say, with watering down what it means to be a vampire to facilitate risky romance, but there has to be a visible distinction somewhere. Most vampires, even in fiction, are not people you would bring home to mother. Because they might eat her.

I will be reviewing a few books which, I think, capture this idea very well. Look out for them; they’re usually the most interesting.
