4.0

You have got to read the Preface. The reader gets to see how human our author is – she puts it out there. And it’s something that some of us can relate to.

Vivian and her husband show that this is a series that’s best read in order. If you start here, you will be confused by certain events. There was one scene where I had to go back a little and re-read because I lost track of whose point of view I was reading. Once I figured it out then the scene made sense. This is not a story to read if your mind is elsewhere. That’s why once my life takes on some semblance of normal I’m going to re-read this book.

This is a series that showcases the author’s creativity. It’s a world that the author has created from scratch. It’s where the reader’s imagination can fly. Anything is possible. You know you’re in for a crazy ride when our author sends a vampire to Alaska. Our author also shows that vampires can care about something other than blood. The bad news is that the ending leaves you hanging. The good news is that this means there may be another book coming.

If you love paranormal series than this may be an author you will want to check out. Maybe you like something out of the ordinary that will grab your attention. Maybe it’s something that will have you hanging on the edge of your seat – what are the characters going to do next. Maybe you don’t mind reading a book that’s told from different points of view – because that just adds to the enjoyment. And then there’s the fact that I want to go up to Alaska and see if there are folklore tales of vampires in the vicinity.

I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
