Lenah used to be a vampire. Rhode who has loved her for many years, gave her wish to make her human. With this ritual and with intent, she became human. She is 16 year old girl who has finally awakened from a long sleep. She is at a boarding school called Wickham. Her best friend is Tony , who happens to be an artist. She have lived for many hundreds of years and is afraid of her coven coming after her.
She has been in love with two men : Rhode and Vicken for different reasons.
This is a different vamp book , and like that she is smart and different from other girls. I don't why she is attracted to the hottest guy on campus. I understand that they at boarding school ( pet peeve) and we are introduced to Justin's parents before they make out.
I understand that she has never done it as a human but did it as vamp.
She has been taken back to England and turned back into vamp by Vicken . She is back with the coven and appears stronger and still has her soul. She is still dreaming about Rhode. Interesting what Vicken wants to be human too and still has that vampire bond with her. It seems that all the men/boys are all in love with Lenah. I get that she is the main character but to have Justin, Tony, Vicken, and Rhode to all be in love with her was a bit much.
I found her transformation very glossed over and that she is able to have special abilities and still retained her soul from being human.
Justin her human boyfriend was okay but I was more interested in the past loves of Rhode and Vicken.
I did like the cliffhanger on this book and will most likely read the next book.
Book Review = 3/C
I bought this book and this is my Honest Review
Like you, I was much more interested in Rhode and Vicken (and even Tony) than I ever was in Justin. He just wasn't all that intriguing, in my opinion. I'll definitely be reading the next book though!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the honest review.
ReplyDeleteI just picked this up from the library. The "every guy in love with her" would annoy me too. Thanks for the review!

I'm about 200 pages into this. I think it's "okay." I'm at a 3.5 / 5 right now. I'm rolling my eyes at the cliches, but am still surprisingly intrigued.

Holy Crow, you don't stop by a blog for a few months and suddenly the whole thing's different. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteInteresting review, the book sounds... Well ok, honestly it sounds like a book I would hate. But I guess that's why we're all different.
I read several bad reviews of this book and was wary. I finished it on Saturday and liked it more than I expected. I thought a lot of it was cliched and silly, yet I liked it anyway. I loved the preview for the next book - it sounds even better than the first one.

oh yes the 2nd book does sound better and get to see Rhode and more questions.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the honest review. I still might give this one a try though. :)
