I can handle far-fetched, and I love most vampire stories that I read, but this story along with its prequel, fell terribly short. While it was a short story, it felt painfully slow to get through and at times made very little sense. The characters are copies of other popular vampires and fairy stories like Twilight and the Sookie Stackhouse series, and then the author overdoes it with the religious aspects. In one paragraph the concept of "being Christian" was mentioned about 4 times, and I just don't see how it added anything to the story. In fact it took away for me, because I got tired of the characters dilemma with religion when the premise of fairies and vampires are somewhat the opposite of religious, it just got to a point of annoyance for me. The explanation was never given for why the religion was so integral to the story, and the writing was so terrible that I skim read the prequel because I couldn't stand the grammatical errors and ridiculous religious connotations. I know this is a series so hopefully the author will improve, or include some clarification, I just won't be reading any further in this series to find out.Reviewed by Gabi for Book Sake.
