As a fan of vampire novels, this book is an excellent break from the usual stuff being pumped out these days. It's a definite page turner, with characters that come to life so brilliantly you feel they're sitting next to you as you're reading this great book. It has everything a great book should - humor, suspense, mystery, and in this case tasteful horror. It's a quick read but keeps you fully entertained from start to finish and left me wanting more, MUCH MORE! You won't be dissappointed!

Great book. I don't usually care to read horror, especially vampire material, but this one is different. The horror is tasteful and sometimes fun. The more pages I turned the more I wanted to read. The tale keeps you guessing after each line & I never lost interest. Give it a try, you won't be sorry !

I'm a fan of vampire fiction....GOOD vampire fiction, and, this book doesn't even come close to falling into that group!

I could tolerate the Anne Rice inspired vampiric characteristics, of the main character, but the writing style is just awful!!

The author spends so much time going into, un-necessary, details that you lose track of the story line....not that the story line is all that interesting to begin with.

I suggest you read one of Anne Rice's novels, and skip this wanna-be's dismal effort.

I'm going to begin this opinion by saying that although reviews of this sort are sometimes necessary it is, however, unnecessary to use them to intentionally attack and humiliate another human being.

I've given this book 3 out of 5 stars. It is fair to say that it was poorly edited, but unfair to blame the author for this. Many publishers charge outrageous hourly rates for this service and if there's no advance given this must come out of the writer's pocket upfront. And for many writers just starting out that is too much of an expense for them to bear. The writer also has no input on how the book is to be priced.

Unlike the two previous readers have expressed, I found the characters and the storyline to be original and intriguing. When attempting to write about a subject that has saturated the market it's rare to find a storyline with originality and I believe this writer has succeeded in that. There were some similarities to other books but I believe once this writer finds her way with the help of experience, and trusting her own intuitions, those characters will become more evolved and the storylines more solid.

I sincerely hope she continues to write because I believe she will have something to offer. Telling someone to stop expressing themselves creatively is a crime and I shudder to think where society would be without those who try.

This was the worst book I've ever attempted to read. So bad that I suspect the two preceding reviews to have been written by close friends of the author. My reasons for rating this book so low are: 1 - ...the price is much too high for 101 pages of print larger than usual. 2 - the editing is poor. Misspellings and odd punctuation abound. 3 - the writing is incredibly bad - cliche ridden and stilted - (another vampire who can't use contractions!) Most FAN fiction is better than this.

If you want to read a good vampire novel, choose something by Tanya Huff, Laurell K. Hamilton, Charlaine Harris. Even Christopher Golden's Buffy novels are better written than this. I've never bothered to enter a review before but I've never felt so ripped off before either. Save your [money]!
