Marna C. (feritgrrl) - , reviewed A Vampire plus novel (plus everything else categorized as paranormal) on 1/12/2009 + 43 more book reviews

Helpful Score: 2

Melange of paranormal elements here- vampires, past lives, zombies, witches, fey folk, magic spells etc. However, the elements never seem to gel. The reader is told over and over about how conflicted the main character is concerning her new dietary preferences, yet she never seems to register conflict. Other characters are poorly laid out and it is difficult to understand their motivation. Plot issues abound- mostly in that the author seems to be trying to do too much in the confines of one novel. Clumsy hints and poor attempts to be coy with information give away plot elements that are meant to be suspenseful. This is apparently the author's first book(according to the dedication), and I have read and enjoyed her later books, so the issues seem to be rookie errors.
