About this listen
Two vampire brothers must set aside their differences to solve a series of murders in this humorous and delightfully spooky novel for young readers. For fans of Too Bright to See.
Adam and Victor are brothers who have the usual fights over the remote, which movie to watch and whether or not it's morally acceptable to eat people. Well, not so much eat . . . just drink a little blood. They're vampires, hiding in plain sight with their eclectic yet loving family.
Ten-year-old Adam knows he has a better purpose in his life (well, immortal life) than just drinking blood, but fourteen-year-old Victor wants to accept his own self-image of vampirism. Everything changes when bodies start to appear all over town, and it becomes clear that a vampire hunter may be on the lookout for the family. Can Adam and Victor reconcile their differences and work together to stop the killer before it’s too late?
Deke has created a beautiful middle grade story about family, friendship, and identity, woven around a murder mystery with a difference. It mainly follows adopted brothers Adam and Victor, who are both vampires. Throughout the book, the boys struggle to find their place in a world in which they are seen as monsters. But over time they come to find true friends in the mortals that they meet, and grow a stronger bond together.
The characters in this book are beautifully diverse and nuanced. All of them are given enough time to express who they are, so you get to know them well. And in the process, Deke breaks down the antisemitic stereotypes that so much of our vampire folklore is based on. It is incredibly well written, and is a must read for anyone who has ever read a book or watched a show with vampires in (so, most of us)!
A must read for anyone who loves vampires
