Judgement of SoulsMargarita FelicesYes, a vampire book. But not just another vampire book! Judgement of Souls is a book that made me happy, it certainly did. I went from page one to the end in no more than two sittings. Meet Rachel, a vampire, who has been here for more decades than one can count on his fingers. Meet Daniel, a young man who is normal, like us, and unlike a vampire. But he is no victim to Rachel's blood-guzzle. He is someone Rachel falls head over heels for!Rachel has been living for ages but as a young woman, she has the characteristics of one too. So when she meets Daniel at a Halloween party, she just can't get him out of her head. Same is the case with Daniel. They are madly in love with each other and nothing can keep them apart. But they are not exactly a couple now, are they??That is where the fantasy and mystery of the story really starts to pick up. Max, an older vampire, is looking for a book - a book that will let him lord over all the other vampires. And he will stop at nothing to pursue and obtain that book. In the process of retrieving that book, Max kills Daniel's best friend, a friend who was almost family to Daniel.Rachel needs to fight Max, she does not want to lose Daniel but still has to tell him about her reality. What happens next is for you to find out. I do not want to reveal it all in this review.Overall, this was an extremely good book that handled the vampire topic, which has been overdone of late, very well. There is no doubt that the author, Margarita Felices, is not one to just fill pages. She was clear and concise about the events in the book, and frankly I like it that way. The story does not have to go on forever, and it did not. And even then the author did manage to piece together great backgrounds to all the characters and events in the story. This certainly deserves five stars and I will not hesitate to read the author's future works.
