I absolutely loved Revamp! It was not a sugar coated love fest book like most vampire books that are around now. I liked that Emma’s character was not a girly girl, she did not let others look after her which would happen in the likes of Twilight etc. She did what she needed to do when it was needed.

I liked that Revamp was completely different from all the other vampire books I have read. The vampires were scary and more “traditional” more horror than sparkle.

The book was long and it did take me a while to read but I was looking forward to going to bed and reading a bit more of it.

I praise Beck Sherman for a fantastic and well written book. ( )

I received a copy of this novel in exchange for my honest review. This book reminded me of Dean Koontz and Stephen King meets Twilight; Gory, gruesome, scary, chilling you to the bone. This was a truly unique vampire story unlike any other I’ve read before. Beck Sherman painted an excellent picture of a vampire resistance. The characters had character, and although the story was longer than you’d expect, you’re glued to the book until completion and longing for more. A truly interesting take on a vampire story, I loved ever moment of this story. ( )

Good story but didn't get very interesting until about half way through the book. It had a lot of things going on and was confusing at times. ( )

I enjoyed this book, but I was waiting for more on the actual blackout.The story centers around the human survivors of a vampire apocalypse and there struggle to survive.I really enjoyed the beginning of the book it had just the right amount of suspense and intrigue but by midway through I felt some parts were long winded while others felt rushed. Overall I would recommend Revamp and will gladly purchase any sequels made. ( )

Rating: Somewhere between 4 and 4.5 stars

Revamp was an interesting, unique and completely refreshing read. Having read a few really shitty books recently Revamp's dose of wry humor was exactly what I needed. I really enjoyed Beck Sherman's writing style, especially the way he portrayed Emma and her non-relationship with Connor. But most of all I sucked in by all the gory details; the brain splattering and gut spilling and every instance in which the characters were covered in blood and grime was described in such vivid detail that the inner monster in me couldn't help but love it!

The plot was very tricky but smartly done. The vampire takeover, the resistance and the way the events from the beginning of the book (that even I had wiped off of my memory) were linked was really good. The characters, each with their own backstory which flowed smoothly with the plot, were amazing. But despite being paranormal (and the much abused vampire theme) the book didn't lose its gravity, or humor. It was a funny, witty and intelligent book - a rare and wonderful combination.

The only complaint I have with the book is that it left some of the things like Professor Winnie's involvement in everything, what has become of Sullivan, Josie or Emma's mom, etc etc unanswered. There were a few plotholes that are still nagging me but in overall it was a really interesting book. But despite everything I don't want it to have a sequel. I really loved the way it ended. Revamp is a great book from a promising writer I would watch out for in the future. ( )
