I learned about The Blood Vivicanti while following the adventures of Anne Rice and her assistant Becket on Anne's Facebook page. Knowing how I usually enjoy Anne's book recommendations, I decided to try this one. I glanced through the first couple of pages immediately after purchase, just to see Becket's style of writing. I was quickly sucked in and I finished the book in one sitting.I usually don't get into series, but The Blood Vivicanti is one series I will definitely follow. Mary Paige is a Blood Vivicanti who drinks her victims' blood and eats their memories. Blessed (or cursed) with a photographic memory, Mary Paige internally stores the memories of her victims, and these memories have an impact on her. She tells of her awkward years in high school (the analogy of high school to the male sexual organ is hilarious) and how she finds herself as a student of a school for the artistically gifted. The story ends with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting to know more.Becket's first literary effort is solid and engaging. My only complaint is I want to read Part 2 and I have no idea how soon it will be released. I hope it won't be long!
