An interesting idea (most human blood is toxic to vampires due to a vaccine). I enjoyed this book. It was well-paced and when I had to put it down, it was easy to pick back up and get right back into the story. Looking forward to the next one.
Redemption (Penton Legacy, #1)
By Susannah Sandlin Narrated by Angela Dawe Reviewer purchase 4 stars
Redemption is the first book of the Penton Series, and reads as such. The introduction to the characters, community, and terminology is well developed and clear. Along with the complete story of Aidan Murphy, the "mayor," how he came to be in Penton, settling to become the leader; we learn how he and his mate, Krys, meet.
Set during a time where life for his kind is scarce due to a vaccine given to most humans. This vaccine makes human blood poison to vampires. Penton is a community where their species can live in harmony with their families and familiars; which are humans they live with as family, who have volunteered to supply the vamps with the sustenance needed to survive.
Krys, short for Krystal, is introduced to the town as she interviews for a position at the Penton hospital. She's a new doctor, fresh out of med school with a pile of student loans and not much else. She is in transit when she's introduced to the community at its worse. A story you must read.
The story was well written and narrated, with an ending as abrupt as the one in this review. Overall, 4 stars; I liked it.
