A review by ezichinny
On the Soul of a Vampire by Krisi Keley
3.0
If you want a fun and easy read, this is NOT it. I was expecting a fun and simple entertaiment kind of vampire romance novel, but this book was not any of that. This book will make you “think” more than it will make you “feel”.
It was complex novel that dealt more with a vampire’s struggle to understand his existence and moral/ethical dilemma of his nature as a predator.
I have to admit that I had a really hard time getting into this book. I was well over page 100 before I started to somewhat like the book. This came about as we got to know more about Angelina and her connection to Valery. It was still a slow read.
I thought the author did a good job with keeping Valery an enigma because I felt sorry for him, but then I didn’t. He wanted redemption, but he didn’t. He wasn’t an ideal hero because he wasn’t even trying to be good. The book was full of spiritual messages and to see Valery struggling to make sense of it was interesting.
I kept waiting to feel that passion and love that I associate with PNR, but I came to realize that isn’t that kind of book. So if you are looking for that erotic love/romance and a happy ending, this won’t satisfy that itch. But if you are looking to analyze how a vampire would feel, how he views the world after 800 years, how he views himself in relation to the good v. evil debate, then this book is for you.
