From the page: "I had the darndest time figuring out the intended audience for this book. The sexual content marks it clearly as a book for adults, but so much of it feels like the kind of material only a teen could appreciate. Given that the vampire lead character is stuck at age 18, I suppose I could assume it's aimed at late teens, and that might make sense.
The sexual content is explicit and, in at least one case, violent. It also is filled with eye-roll-inducing euphemisms such as 'rod of love' and 'velvet well,' at least when it isn't clinically describing sexual positions from the Kama Sutra or engaging in purple prose like 'I ... ran free across the glistening vales of ecstasy.'
The terrorist plot could be somewhat interesting, were it not for the fact that it comes across like adults playing an updated game of cops-and-robbers. The Darkwings decide to have a discussion amongst themselves 'out in the street, where no listening devices could pick up our conversation.' Umm, got news for ya, but it isn't that easy to avoid being listened in on."
