Review: Taken by Takers
Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 26, 2013
The whole vampire thing has been pretty much done to death in recent years, so it's refreshing to come upon Takers, something of a different 'take' on the genre. A very dark urban fantasy, gutsy, bloody as one would expect, fast-paced and slick, it spins the tale of a hard-assed LA cop 'turned' into something half-human half-vampire, and all that that entails. The first person narrative draws you quickly into the penumbral world of the newly-turned detective and his encounters in and outside of the world he has been sucked into, its dilemmas, morals and questionable joys. This is the highly enjoyable first volume of what looks to be a multi-part series, and if blood, fangs and nasty doings are your thing, you're in for a bit of a treat.
