Adventures of a Vegan Vamp by Cate Lawley
4.0
3.5*
The cover and synopsis are what drew me to this when I found it on Amazon, not gonna lie. This wasn't exactly what I expected at all but I enjoyed this short, fun and light read anyway.
However, I'm not sure if I enjoyed it enough to grab book 2 and keep reading this story. I liked Mallory well enough and i feel I could be her in my discovery of being a vamp and being basically left to my own devices when it comes to learning stuff about my new self and this new world I'm in. Alex intrigues me and I wouldn't mind knowing more about him.
Meet mallory, a 39 year old girl who gets turned into a vampire after a night out with colleagues. Except, she wakes up a few days later, feeling different, but not really. A random doctor check up confirms her transformation and Mallory receives a card with 2 contact numbers in case of emergencies. Oh, she can't drink blood and her body rejects everything but veggies and fruits. water is fine and coffee is not recommanded at all, she learns, after chugging down a whole lot of it and hallucinating things. She embarks on a mission to learn more and to try to find and capture the freak that turned her and, in the process, she meets varied characters.
I don't want to spoil too much so I'm stopping there.
There are 5 books in this series and about 2 in betweens. usually, in series, the plot and more details come as you get deeper in the story but here, I feel it's not the case. Things are kept secret and then you get one more layer that is giving you more questions and then another thing on top and not more info an, suddenly, the book is done and... I don't know.
Oh yes, I almost forgot about this: there were a lot of little words missing in sentences. Not big words making you wonder what they were talking about but workds like "a", "the",... it was kinda annoying, to me anyway. Not sure if it,s just my copy of it but since it's Amazon, I'm thinking it's the same for everyone having that copy so...
I'll have to think it over, I think, about reading book 2.
