Blood by K.J. Wignall

Will is a really old Vampire who hibernates and wakes up randomly,someone prepares for him a room to live in under a church. He doesn't know who or why so he searches to find out. He must feed so he uses those that won't be missed like homeless people. He comes across a man named Jex who speaks to him of things about himself . As Will is killing him he tells Will he needs to save a girl and gives him a diary the girls picture is in it tells him the name of a person who is evil . Will sets out to find the girl and the person who made him a monster or gave him the sickness. Eloise is her name and Will saves her from some young boys who are harrassing her. He eventually has to tell her what he is and she wants to become just like him. Together they set out with some help from two other people to find the one who made Will a vampire fighting demons along the way. Finally Will comes face to face with his maker and doesn't get any answers before he has to kill him. He does find out there is a evil being that is more powerful in the world that has seen something in Will that made him seek him out . Eloise is also part of the puzzle and part of Will's destiny. She has the other half of the pendant that Will's maker had around his neck. Will was told by the Women who were accused of being witches and burned that the evil one will approach him and William will do evil . There is a wizard involved some how named Wyndham . He approaches one of the boys that harrassed Eloise and is training him for something . Wyndham believes that Will of Mercia is evil.

There were flahbacks explaining how Will became bitten during the burning of the witches. I couldn't understand why he would hibernate or why he was turned into a vampire and left alone for all those years. The witches and Wyndham seem to think Will is evil yet to me he doesn't seem to be and Eloise sure does trust him. He doesn't kill for the fun of it. I sure would like to know the answers I hope there will be another book. Kind of leaves too many unanswered questions just when it was starting to get good.
