A fascinating new take on vampire novels, Rhiannon is unique with a twist of grim humor. Quite the complicated tale of a girl with a complicated history continues on even after her life takes a very dramatic change. Despite all the very graphic gore there is an underlining of emotional tags for the reader to latch onto. There is heart break, pain, curiosity, discovery, failure and new beginnings to be had. Although Pretty When She Dies could be filed under teen angst fiction the horror detail is more than the average youth book typically allows. Good for both teens and adults, a really good read.
