I'll admit, lately I've read more than my share of urban fantasy (i.e., vampire, werewolf and other paranormal stories). Plus, being a dedicated freebie hunter, I've learned that too many times, you really do get what you pay for. So imagine my delight to start an at-that-time-freebie with a clever title and be pulled into the story immediately. It's truly refreshing to find a protagonist that isn't actually a vampire, though she may play one for the time being. The fact that her reluctant ally and burgeoning love interest can actually see the real her, rather than the body she's occupying, is another original twist. (As this happens fairly early in the story, I don't think this is actually a spoiler.) It will be interesting to see if we deal with more Prime vamps in future outings with our heroine and hero, or continue to track down Soul Eaters -- or both.I thoroughly enjoyed this story, wishing it had actually been a bit longer, and eagerly look forward to the adventure continuing. I did not notice any glaring spelling or formatting issues (things that usually pull me out of the story, looking for a red pencil), though there were some areas where an editor might have helped with clarity of language. Then again, I'll admit to being an honorary member of the Grammar Gendarme, so I may be pickier than most.Keep writing, Eden, I want to spend more time with Tamsin and Drake.
