Tropers/TheEvilOboist wrote it partially as a response to ''Literature/{{Twilight}}''. She challenged herself to write a vampire story without romance or needless angst, with a male main character. Of course, given Victor's rather unhappy life, some angst ensues, but the author has worked hard to make it realistic and keep it from taking over the story. Part of the plot involves him overcoming the guilt he's accumulated and moving past his beloved girlfriend's death, but the main plot is definitely about him getting rid of the vampires and solving the mystery of why they're there in the first place.

* UncannyValley: Bianca tells Victor that he comes from the UncannyValley. She's probably just trying to make him feel bad, since Victor actually looks pretty average, despite the pointy ears, yellow eyes, and fangs.
* UnfortunateImplications: In-universe. The powers that be determine that because Henry is a gay vampire, he must therefore be a pedophile and a child-killer.

* {{Badass}}: Everyone. Any {{Dhampyr}} deserves special mention, because they can either try to "pass" in human society or they can be social outcasts. Anyone who endures that is a badass.
