Review by: LaurenThe main character, Mia Blake, starts off this strong, confident, young lady with an attention-grabbing backstory.  She is well off without the adverse effects, humble but not shy, and has a deceased father and an absent but a remarkable, caring best friend.  Mia attends a private school and has advanced academically and has her entire college career planned.  She has her whole life ahead of her or so she thought...Mia Blake is kidnapped and held violently against her will at an unknown location.  She discovers that she is at the mercy of the world's first vampire and his murderous group of thugs that do his bidding.  Death is her only hope of escaping this living, breathing nightmare but the death she receives, isn't the one she pleads for.Can you fathom being taken from a parking lot and waking up in a nightmare?  I can't even begin to imagine how I would react or what I would say to my captors but I would like to think that I would show the same amount of courage that Mia Blake does.  She was bold and cunning.  I admired her style and way of thinking but midway through Wombstone, Mia losses a little bit of that edge when her "new life" begins.  Thankfully she redeems herself at the end only to have the s***  hit the fan right before the author's promise of a sequel.I am curious to know how all of the open ended storylines from Wombstone will be carried out hence; I will be reading the sequel in anticipation that Mia's life will become one that she is a bit more in control.  I want to watch her grow into her new self and own what she has become,  play the cards she was dealt in that cunning fashion she displayed while trying to escape her abductors.  I have hope that Mia's confidence will return and with that, some more character development of those supporting her.  I am interested in knowing what will happen to her best friend, the witch, and what is really up with that creepy heart in the jar?!
