Title:  DissensionSeries:  Book #1 in the Chronicles of the Uprising SeriesAuthor:  K.A. SalidasRating:  B-Review:  This novel was definitely an interesting take on vampires and the paranormal genre.  Basically, it's a dark, dystopian tale about a world in which humans have subjugated vampires, forcing them to life in prisons and engage in life or death battles in a gladiator arena for their own perverted amusements.  Mira is tough chick - spending day in and day out fighting against her circumstances and those of her people.  Lucien, on the other hand, I felt as if we barely got to know before the ending of the book.  Which brings me to my main point of contention with this book - the ending.  There's a cliffhanger, and then there is just those dump-you-right-in-the-middle-of-a-scene endings that totally rub me the wrong way - leaving you unfulfilled and just thoroughly ticked off.  This one is the latter.  Sure, I'm confident the next book picks right up where this one leaves up, but there is nothing I hate more than an unfulfilled ending to a book.  And the end of this one was enough to almost ruin the whole book for me.  To be honest, I would have rated it higher if not for the ending - so just be forewarned about that before starting it!http://thenaughtyvixen.wordpress.com/
