Summary
It's the 90s in the Pacific-Northwest, and the music scene is killing, but so are meth and vampires.  A rouge group of hobo vampire junkies are riding the rails and roaming the streets looking for their next hit.  We follow the journey of a young woman who is running with these junkie vampires.  A young woman who is running away from an unsatisfying life looking for her years missing foster sister.  

Review
I wanted to like this.  I really did.  But, WTF just assaulted my eyes and brain?!?!  I was immediately pulled into this book by the cover art (yes, I judged this book by it's cover), but even the synopsis seemed intriguing.  The killer of this book was the writing and the delivery of the story.  I think if you stripped this down and reorganized it, this could be excellent.  I felt like I was in a drugged-up haze trying to keep up with the nonsense between the covers.  The story was lackluster and confusing, to say the least.  Imagine Twilight, but it's darker, grittier, and has fewer emotionally abusive relationships, but takes place in the 90s, and that's what The Orange Eats Creeps is.
