In this book I have enjoyed Brandon Mulls creativity. One part I really liked was the part about the sting bulb. The sting bulb originated as a fruit on a tree and when one of its spikes poked Kendra it took a sample of her DNA. Then it transformed into a duplicate of Kendra.
At the beginning of the story Kendra gets kidnapped by a sting bulb and he takes her to her real captor, Torina. Torina is a vampire that sucks the youth out of the young to keep herself young. Though she won't suck Kendra's youth because shes keeping her captive until her boss, the Sphinx, arrives. So she won't suck Kendra's youth. During Kendra's stay she meets some of Torina's victims. When someone new is tricked into coming to Torina's house Kendra tries her best to warm the man so that he doesn't become a victim too. She doesn't want him or anyone else to suffer the fate of Torina's other victims.
Brandon Mull incorporates the characters feelings about the changes occurring around them. He relates after the sting bulb (duplicate, that replaces Kendra when shes kidnapped) dies Seth, her brother, mourns over the loss of his sister. He also describes Kendra's desperation to escape from her captors and reunite with her family. The strong feelings he uses in these parts and other parts of the story make you feel what they feel with them. Its written very well and it makes you sad when one of the characters is sad, happy when they're happy.
