I was thrilled when I realized that this was a vampire book NOT written for young adults. Death Wish is a phenomenal start to an exciting new series geared toward adult readers.Smartly written and extremely well thought out, this story has everything I like to see in a thrilling paranormal read:- A cast of unique and intricately created characters that fascinate and command the reader's attention, including a heroine to whom readers can relate. She begins the story as an ordinary girl but is transformed almost overnight into a sultry, powerful queen; a leader among a race of beings which she previously despised.- A storyline that captivates me right from the beginning and keeps me thinking about it even after I have reluctantly put the book down to do other things, such as go to work.- Nothing held back when it comes to three of my favorite things: profanity, violence and sex. Dialogue and other interaction between the characters stays true to the intrinsic nature of the characters and contributes to the development of those characters.- The sex scenes that are vividly written but not cheesy; seductive and erotic without coming across as lewd or pornographic. The two main characters take romantic encounters to an entirely new level. Imagine: no-holds-barred passionate sex between two immortal beings who can feel what each other is experiencing, can't hurt each other and never tire. Sizzling!I immediately recognized the heroine, Manon, an intriguing character introduced at the end of Danielle Blanchard's novelette, Forever 27. I had the pleasure of reading this delightful little gem prior to reading Death Wish.I don't automatically gravitate toward vampire books as a rule, but the Vamp Saga is one series I intend to follow through to the end.Highly recommended!
