5.0 out of 5 stars Humans, werewolves and vampires! OH MY!, December 28, 2005

This review is from: Silver Fang, The (Paperback)

Sion Baptiste is a vampire who can walk during the day. His father has sent him to hire Samantha, a bodyguard, under the pretense of protecting the family against an unknown enemy, most likely werewolves. Both are in the dark regarding his true purpose - creating a master race of vampires that will be able to once and for all destroy the werewolves.

Disbelieving that she is the key to the Master race, and unwilling to be a pawn, Samantha becomes the hunted. When the vampires she has vowed to kill capture her, Samantha escapes only to get kidnapped by werewolves. Finding herself in a battle for her own life, she quickly discovers that the only way to save herself is to actually unite both factions to fight an even greater enemy!

Tamara Gray has written a very fast paced novel that kept me reading as quickly as possible. Even though Samantha looses more blood than any one person should be allowed to loose (and not die or turn into a vampire), and it didn't make since that a master vampire would hire a mortal body guard - which she herself was suspicious of - I LOVED this book!

THE SILVER FANG quite honestly is just amazing. The story is told in first person from Samantha's perspective (which was very quickly forgotten) and reads like a movie script. Fans of Wesley Snipes "Blade" series and the movie "Underworld" would really like this book as it reminded me of these movies. However, THE SILVER FANG, make no mistake, is its own story.

The story starts with the ending battle and then you find out what happened leading Samantha into a blood bath with the werewolves. It was actually masterfully written because as a reader I had two totally different feelings reading the same section.

Samantha is a strong woman. Stronger than most men she knows. I really liked her personality. Sion Baptiste, I greatly under estimated because at first I just found him exceedingly annoying. In the end, I really think get got the short end of the stick, even though he technically gets the girl...you will have to read the story to find out what I mean here!

I was really frustrated with the ending because while it came to a satisfactory conclusion, you know there is more following because to many items haven't been resolved. So this will be another series on my auto-buy/must read list. I was so impressed with Tamara Grays writing style; I can't believe this is her first novel.

Absolutely phenomenal! Buy the book or get the download, if you are a fan of vampires or werewolves it won't matter, you won't be disappointed with THE SILVER FANG!

2.0 out of 5 stars Main character is not very likable...., August 11, 2006

I didn't care for the way the story was written (many sentence fragments with little punctuation - not easy to read) nor did I like the "heroine" who wound up having sex easily with everyone but the person she had a relationship with. The situations, sex, violence all seemed contrived and gratuitous to me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good story, bad grammer, July 23, 2006

By

This review is from: Silver Fang, The (Paperback)

Ok, i read a lot of supernatural romances and this one is so-so. The story had a lot of potential, my only issue w/ the book was all the grammatical errors..I mean oh my god! A high school fresman could have written better! I was so sick of re-reading Sion Baptiste's name over and over again. What's wrong with just calling him Sion? I will probably read the sequels because the actually story was pretty good...but i hope she gets a new publisher! If there were no errors in this book i would have definetely given it a higher score...
