Review of Half Light by uss-genderprise

This one is only slightly better than the last. They share some problems, such as the bad effects (this one is somehow even worse!), but there are new issues with this one.

I have trouble believing the vampire's actor is in his thirties. He looks much too old for a 30 year old Olive to be interested in, let alone to have "girls falling at his feet".

It's almost funny how him being a vampire is set up as a mystery when it's extremely obvious. You'd think a witch of Olive's calibre would have been able to pick up on it.

Personally, I see their "romance" as a bit of compulsory heterosexuality on Olive's side. She has no interest in men for the first thirty years of her life, has a strange dream about this one man she met once, and believes they're meant to be together. Then she lives the rest of her life without ever being interested in anyone ever again.
