Night Runner by Max Turner

"For Zack Thomson, life in the Nicholls Ward wasn't so bad. After his parents died, he developed strange allergies, and the mental institution was the only place where he could be properly looked after. As strange as it was, it was home. But that all changes the night a stranger on a Harley crashes through the front doors and tells him to run. Along with his best friend Charlie and a girl he may or may not be falling in love with, Zack does just that: run. Under the cover of night, hiding amongst the shadows, he races for the truth." -Goodreads.com

If I had known Night Runner was about vampires I wouldn't have read it. In everything I read about it before starting it not one of them *that I saw* said it was about vampires, and it's not like the vampires showed up closer to then end of the book. I think it was around page 40 that it first started. And even though I am strongly against stopping a book I haven't finished I was so close to stopping this one right there (if I had brought my kindle to work with me that day I would have). Because I am just not a big fan of vampire themed books, never have been and don't see it happening in the near future. It did get a bit better at the end of it (hence the 3 stars) but not something over fabulous.

3 stars.
