Being Human by Patricia Lynne

For Tommy, there is only one thing he needs to do: survive. 

Only surviving isn't that easy. The hunt for blood can be tricky when humans know to fear the night. Desire sits on the edge of his mind, urging him to become the monster humans think he is. Vampire Forces, a special branch of police, is determined to turn every vampire to ash. Tommy included.

The only human Tommy can trust is his twin brother. A bond connects them, and with Danny's help, Tommy starts to understand the human world he struggles to survive in. He'll learn what friendships means and feel the sting of betrayal, find that sometimes the worst monsters are very human, and come to understand that family means more than blood.

Tommy just wants to survive and he knows what he needs to do. But with the number of humans that mean more to him than a meal growing, he'll learn there's more to life than simple survival. He'll discover being human doesn't mean being a human.

( POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT!)

Tommy wakes up a vampire his human memories slipping fast , survival is all he knows, Tommy kills his parents to quench his thirst, only one person remains, his twin brother, Tommy's last link to his humanity.

Being Human is such an unusual twist on your 'average' vampire story, It is written in first POV (Tommy) and is wrote in sections rather than chapters, It spans across around 30-40 years (My guesstimate) which is something that i found unusual but really enjoyed as you got to see how everything changed but Tommy, how his brother grows old as he stays the same.

The story is set in the near future, where vampires are known about but not accepted, people always walk in crowds and carry mini flame throwers to protect themselves!

Being Human was surprisingly touching and I often found myself wanting to befriend Tommy to help him regain his humanity. It explored the bonds of Family, no matter who or what your family are you stand by them if they mean that much to you. Altogether it was a great read and always had me wanting to know what happened next! 4/5
