Entertaining, with clear storylines and well-thought-through world-building. The series reads quite young- would be perfect for 12-13 year old readers. The protagonist of the series, 14 year old Aiden Dyer lost his mother when he was still a baby. His father Jason has an important engineering job which means they have to move countries every couple years, so Aiden has become quite good at adapting himself to new circumstances and fitting in in new schools. This time they are back to Oaksdale, England, where Aiden was born. Strange encounters follow and Aiden unexpectedly finds himself befriended by two vampires- Callie and Taylor. More revelations follow- Aiden's father turns out to be a Master Vampire Hunter hailing from a long line of legendary vampire exterminators and that's not all. Aiden himself isn't just an ordinary boy- he is the carrier of super special Perfect Blood, a rare occurence in the history of this supernatural world. Add a dark magic creature - Dark Witch- who is craving absolute power, something Aiden's blood can give them, and the picture of the upcoming battles is complete. A large part of the book is about Aiden making friends and trying to figure out his place in this dangerous world which appeared so safe and easy to understand a short time ago. Aiden needs to work out who can and who can't be trusted and learn to defend himself and those he is beginning to care a lot about. The author got me with the mystery- I thought I had it all worked out, but I was wrong. Can't wait to read the continuation of Aiden's story.
