These days, Hollywood is ripe with movies that involve the mixing of two genres; this popularity has increased in recent years for novels as well, partially due to the fact that most novelists have a dream of seeing their book become a movie. Sadly, most of the time this genre mixing is woefully inadequate, leaving the best parts of each genre missing, hollow, and without the meat that makes them stand out in this competitive market. However, Kattie McKinsey shows that not all genre mixing is a flop with her masterful take on Vampires and Aliens which is not only a 'page-turner', but a thrilling, evocative adventure that defies all of the expectations of either genre.Without giving too much away, I can say that the main character, Lilianda, is a sexy and interesting character with many different facets. The fact that she is a Vampi, which is a bit different from your average Vampire, sets things apart immediately. Learning about what the Vampi can do with their supernatural powers is fun and intriguing. Utilizing her as the focal point for nearly two hundred pages of action and suspense, Lilianda quickly becomes dear to the reader.I can’t get enough of Lilianda and the Vampi! If you like Vampire or Alien fiction, check out this story -- you won't be disappointed.
