A Shade of Vampire on Amazon
I received this book for free in exchange for a fair and honest review.
Sophia Claremont has been captured by a group of vampires and secreted away to an enchanted island of night to become the human slave of vampire prince Derek Novak. He is smitten with her humanity and empathy upon their first encounter. What unfolds, is a strange tale about falling in love.
There is so much that I like about this book. The description of the island and the villas in the Redwood trees sounds amazing. I want to go there!
I am reminded more of the fairytale Beauty and the Beast than typical vampire folklore. I like how the chapters go back and forth alternating between Sophia's and Derek's perspectives.
I have to admit that I feel as though Sophia's character is a bit one dimensional. I feel that her character lacks a certain depth in comparison with the character of Derek Novak. Maybe this stems from knowing more of his background than hers. I am hoping that the author will be able to remedy this in subsequent installations.
Overall, the book definitely kept me intrigued. I couldn't seem to put it down--I was too curious about what would happen next. A good, quick read and an admirable start to an interesting new series in the vampire genre.
