Review: An Excellent Novel
Rating: 5 out of 5

I was a little worried due to the warning placed on this book about violence, etc.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was well-written and the violence and sexual scenes were handled with much more finesse than most other books.  I actually purchased this book.  I usually look for the free ones due to being in a like position financially of many in the country.  I read voraciously and so I need several novels in one week.  This one was worth the money (although I would have loved to save it to buy Book #2 since this one is now free and #2 is not)and I loved that the author gave us 500 pages. I hate to actually spend money for a book and it be less than 200 pages - although granted, some author's stories do not warrant even the 200 pages.In my reviews, I do not retell the story.  I do not believe that is what a review is for.  This author took the "vampire" story in a totally new direction (at least for this reader) and did not fall into the trap the countless other "vampire" authors do of trying to combine "Twilight" and "50 Shades of Grey" (two books I am not interested in anyway).  Bravo to the author, who, even taking out the sex, has an Excellent, Well-Told, Story!!!  I wish I could read her 2nd one right now but cannot.  I applaud her creativity and ability to build a solid story.
