Review: What if Blade was a 14 year old girl?

The Vampire Hunter's Daughter is more serial than stand alone short story.  Chloe's story is enticing as she is from a long line of vampire slayers, but fathered by a vampire. However, the execution is less than remarkable. The writing comes off as if written by a 15 year old girl.  And while the story is written in the first person and the protagonist is of that age, it just reads like a novice's attempt.Wright's vampires are a little different than what I am used to: capable of sex (the human variety) and fathering human children.  I like my vampires with hearts that dont beat, who dont eat or drink anything but blood (for the blood is life), and who are incapable of having sex and or reproducing in a "human" way.  They have their own form of intamcy.  But each author who writes vampire fiction can shape their mythology to thier liking.  Even Anne Rice has rejected some traditional lore such as the whole can't be seen in mirrors thing and the power of garlic, holy water and crucifixes over vampires.So, the question that this story left me was, if Chloe's father is a vampire, then why is she not or at least a hybrid like Blade?  This needs explaing.  The Vampire Hunter's Daughter has a lot of potential, which could be realized with some polishing.Matt ColeAuthor of The Blood of Cowards
