I would rate this book three and a half stars because although it was good it wasn't surprising who the murder was and wasn't compelling enough for me. No one in the book seemed like they definitely could not be the murderer, so I think they could have made that aspect of the book better. That didn't happen because anyone could be the murderer. It wasn't like in other books when you find out who the murderer is and your mouth literally drops open. But the person wasn't particularly surprising which I didn't like. You don't find out who the murderer is until the last ten pages and unlike most murder or mystery books there wasn't a big long list of who it could be you just didn't know, you had no idea who it could be. I liked the mystery of who the murderer was like I always do in murder books or mystery books. And with Bill you're not supposed to be sure whether you can trust him or not but with most of the other vampires in the book they seem completely evil. In Dead Until Dark they come across as creepy and untrustworthy but still slightly mysterious at the same time. I think in vampire books for young adults they come across as kind of mysterious and you always seem to think they're trustworthy by the third chapter and they're meant to seem attractive and like you would want to be friends with them. I think the vampires seemed more creepy than they do in more teenage vampire books.
