Felix is a vampire—a fierce creature of the night who strikes terror into the hearts of everyone unlucky enough to become his prey. Or at least, that’s what he thought was true, until he met John. John is completely unimpressed with Felix, much to his dismay. Felix becomes fixated on proving his ferocity to John—and when that doesn’t work, he strives to make any impression on him at all.
John is a witch, and as all witches know, vampires are notoriously stupid creatures who only have the power to hurt those who fear them. Besides, he’s under a curse much more frightening than any vampire. Felix’s desperate attempts to impress him annoy John at first, but gradually, they become sort of endearing. Because of his curse, John has pushed everyone in his life away. But Felix can’t be hurt, so there’s no harm in letting him hang around.
Felix is technically dead. John has nothing left to live for. But together, they might have a shot at life.

My Review: (Thanks to NetGalley)
While the concept of vampires being cursed (one of three ways) was original and different, it wasn't enough to save this book.
It's one thing to have a good idea, it's another to have the skill to put the idea onto paper.
The characters were very one dimensional and I just didn't feel a connection. The plot didn't draw me in, there wasn't enough detail to flesh it out and it took me a few tries to finish which was disappointing.
