Tandem is the sequel to Bateman's Thirsty, which I found to make an interesting parallel between an alcoholic addiction and the desire/need for human blood for a vampire. Normally, I wouldn't consider a book about vampires but Thirsty intrigued me. Since I enjoyed it so much I decided to check out Tandem.
While Bateman has proven herself a creative writer with a talent for creating deep and full characters, I was disappointed in this book. The storyline was interesting and entertaining to read. I enjoyed the characters and setting very much. My disappointment lies in the weakness of the analogy in this book. I think it was so strong and obvious to me in the first book that I just couldn't get past that in this one.
**I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.
