Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
3.0
Surprisingly good. Really good.
I'm not one for YA. I'm not one for vampires. I'm not even one for urban-based light fiction. But Peeps was so very enjoyable. It's an intriguing twist on an overused genre, is plausibly grounded in reality, and has a surprisingly tidy story.
There is, however, an unfortunately weak B-story coupled with a rushed denouement that dead-ends at a corny finale - uncharacteristic of the rest of the book.
