I like alpha males with a hint of vulnerability. Kai is just too clingy for me. I did like the story enough to follow the series and see what happens next.
Seventeen-year-old Alice is a home schooled vampire attending a high school with humans for her senior year when she gets involved with Kai, a good-looking abuse victim. The conflict arises when Max, a vampire hunter also claims to be in love with her. The story ends without resolution to the relationships and an excerpt from book it.
Vampire novesl have been the same story for so long, I don't know why I try to find something different. This book, at least, showed a different side of vampires that was interesting. Born vampires, instead of just created. This young adult novel tried to make a more tame version of the classic Dracula story, but the love triangle that is going on is just...weird. Kai is soooo emo, it almost disgusted me to keep reading. And then, when he was so clingy when Alice is gone, I didn't blame her for what she did. The whole novel tried to show an adult theme, but I think the author was targeting the wrong audience here.… (más)
This was another acquisition during my obsession with free books in January.
Again, the writing style and plot development were incredibly poor - I very much understand why this was a self-published effort. It doesn't appear to have ever crossed an editor's desk and it shows. Poor spelling and grammar, one-dimensional characters, and a nonsensical plot make this a very slow read.
The main character is a female teenage "vampire". I use that term because the author did, but it is like no vampirism I have ever seen. There are NO downsides to it, aside from being hunted for no apparent reason. (I think, though my memory is rocky, that at one point she said she didn't even need to drink blood. Really?)
The three main characters are all the same and highly annoying. I struggle to care about what any of them are dealing with, which is good because they make stupid decision after stupid decision for no apparent reason.
Instalove and overly-perfect people abound. Beware.
Another waste of precious reading time.
