Most of the time they'd start fights over a glance. In the land of the Camorra a look is a question of territory; it's an invasion of one's private space, like breaking down the door and violently entering someone's home. A look is something more than an insult. To stare someone in the face for too long is already somehow an open challenge.

The first 50 or so pages are pretty heavy on the "here's what happened last time, here's the rules for vampires in this world" stuff. But when Pitt's new mission is revealed, I found myself sitting deeper in the couch and settling in. Keen to see where this takes us.
