I will look out for those books than in our bookstores. They indeed sounds like books I'd enjoy reading, though I'll probably will take the side of the vampires yeah *laughs*

It's funny that you mention the northern part of North America to me. Finns usually settle down in those regions when they migrate because the climate and nature is somewhat similiar to the Finnish one. My aunt lives in Brittish Columbia (if I remember right) and it really looks like wilderness starts just outside of her door when she shows pictures.
