What if everything you knew about your family was a lie: What if, when the lies began to crack, beneath them lay a truth so dark and deep, yet so compelling, that it pulled you inside? The Society of S, a character-driven literary mystery, is the future of vampirism, told in a voice that will haunt you---and make you think.
Review:
This book was just okay for me. Some of the writing is so profound it feel like this could be an epic and then the characters turn out to be such a disappointment.
Ari lives in a house that she isn't free to roam in, with a dad she really doesn't know and a cook that doesn't like her and it takes half of the book for her to start asking why. Her fathers lack of feeling towards her, his lack of reaction at her moms leaving and Ari's leaving and then showing up again all bothered me. Her mom's lack of emotion and reaction bothered me too! And how come after everything is revealed, Malcolm is still hanging around? I just don't get these characters and how passive they all are, it killed the story for me.
Cover: I like it but the meaning of the dragonfly wasn't elaborated.
