Review of 'First kill' on 'Goodreads'

It is another great piece of Heather Brewer's work that I fancy. I learned more about a character from her Vladimir Tod series that I liked only second to Vlad. Joss journeys from just a boy looking for revenge and justice for his dear little sister Cecile to an older person that has experienced pain and humiliation. I found his story just as riveting as Vlad's and thought it a refreshing new look on what it's like to really struggle to fit in when you're an outcast.
