From:

I managed to read an entire historical mystery novel absolutely convinced that it’s twist was going to be that the main character was a vampire. This did not turn out to be the case, it was an entirely un-supernatural historical murder mystery, but I was going “okay so now he reveals he’s a vampire?” up until about the last ten pages. I ended up with this mistaken impression because I’d thought a vampire book loving friend had recommended it to me (they had not) and because the book spends a long time dwelling on the main character’s ‘unnatural yellow eyes’, and ‘unsettlingly sharp senses’, and ‘unbelievably fast reflexes’ which all fit my vampire narrative. I was very disappointed when no-one turned out to be a vampire.
