I hate vampires. I refuse to get caught up in the True Blood and Twilight hype. I have tried and can't do it. But after hearing about this series for so long on Facebook, I decided to go ahead and give it a try. I was prepared to totally hate it, but was pleasantly surprised.Chloe Kallistrate is awakened by her mother in the middle of the night. Felicia throws Chloe into the closet and tells her she loves her, just as some men burst into the bedroom. Chloe watches in horror as her mother is murdered before her very eyes. As she is being dragged out of the house against her will, another group of people burst into the house to save her. And thus, Chloe finds out the truth about her heritage, her parents, and her life's destiny. She decides to embrace it all and avenge her mother's death by becoming the greatest vampire hunter.This first installment ends with Chloe making her vow and leaves you wanting more. It is told in the first-person and you can hear and feel the teenaged cynicism and attitude. Perhaps Jennifer was able to pull on her own teenage years?The Vampire Hunter's Daughter is a quick and easy read. Granted, I read fast, but this first part was devoured in way less than an hour. I polished it off while my friend was looking for a pair of shoes. As soon as I got home, I downloaded the next two parts and read them just as quickly!
