Fledgling by Octavia E. Butler ★★☆☆☆

Ah vampires…
A man sexily kissing a woman's neck
Sexy, sexy vampires…
Sookie and Eric from True Blood looking heatedly at one another

Octavia Butler used the last of her considerable writing talents to leave us with the Ina, an interesting new culture and species of vampire.

The author decided to make the MC sexy vampire female.
Yes, good choice.
And black.
Great, love diversity in stories.
And ten years old. 
You've lost me.
Cute little black girl smiling with a sunny green grass background

By the third sex scene where this little girl is joyfully plowed by an enormous hairy white twenty year old man, I decided the author had lost her mind. 

If this is where Octavia Butler's writing was headed then I'm glad it ended. We don't need more pedo fantasy writing.
