This novel's plotline is kind of basic but Caleb Roehrig makes it work. He's a rather awkward and perpetually horny teen who also happens to be an incredibly funny narrator (laugh-out-loud kind of fun). For 'reasons' however he's the chosen ones, and the whole world depends on him.Īugust's narration is the strongest aspect of this book. This is a very plot-driven book and August can't seem to catch a break. Things became increasingly bizarre as August finds himself at the centre of a feud between different vampire sects, an order of mortal knights, and a coven. In spite of the vampires prowling his town at night, his biggest concern is algebra.until he receives a cryptic and ominous message from a distractingly cute-looking vampire (who happens to have an English accent). August, the only 'out' gay boy in his school, isn't particularly fond of his hometown (mostly due to its vampire populace). This small town happens to be a nexus for mystical and supernatural energies which is why it attracts so many vampires. Our narrator and protagonist, sixteen-year-old August Pfeiffer, lives in Fulton Heights, Illinois. Usually, I'm a nitpicking reader but with The Fell of Dark I was happy to suspend my disbelief. The Fell of Dark is a fun take that on vampires and 'the chosen one' trope.
