The Tear Collector by Patrick Jones


Genre: Young Adult
Sub Genre: Urban Fantasy; Vampires
Rating: 4 out of 5 Stars

Back Cover: Readers beware of a new kind of vampire – one that feeds off tears instead of blood. Descended from an ancient line of creatures that gain their energy from human tears, Cassandra Gray depends on human sorrow to live. Her job as a grief counselor at the hospital provides the perfect cover to keep this secret safe, and any time a friend needs a shoulder to cry on, she’s there. But Cass has grown tired of living this lie and wants to live like a human, especially now that she’s fallen in love with one.

I love this new idea on vampires. I didn’t know if I like Cassandra’s family dynamics. The whole thing where the females live away from the males is all kind of odd. I can understand why Cassandra wants to be human. Her relationships before Scott are very different, with her not really having any feeling at all. I found the whole story very different from the normal vampire stories. There is the whole teen angst with high school gossip there, heck I almost felt like I was back in high school. I truly felt like I was right beside the character through everything. I loved reading this story.
