Fledgling

I'm not a voracious reader of vampire novels. In fact, I've only read a few. I picked this one up because it was by Octavia Butler and it was nominated for a Lambda Literary Award. I've not read a Butler novel yet and this one seemed like an easy first read. It was in fact a fairly easy book with strong messages about race, sexuality, and relationships. It has some of the classic vampire tropes, but with different twists. I found it enjoyable, and at times gripping.
