Yes, there's enough vampires stories and this genre has been done to death. So it's always refreshing when someone can actually breath some life in this done to death genre. Well, this is what the author of Fragile Things does. The author actually uses harsh subject matter that most people can recognize and mixes it with the supernatural to create a compelling horror story. This makes this story amazing. I highly recommend it because I think that you'll enjoy it thoroughly.This book is being billed as the first in a series of Horror stories, but it is so much more than that. These girls could be living in your city right now. There are many children forced to live in circumstances that lead them down a wrong road very early. Jennifer is just such a one, addicted to heroine from an early age she has finally beaten that demon, her boyfriend was her dealer but he has since gotten out and then she meets the vampire Ebony. They become fast friends, they bond on a level that few people ever understand.Ebony, looks to be about 17, but she is much much older, you see, Ebony is a Vampire. She had not been close to anyone, at least anyone who lived to tell about it afterward. There was just something about Jennifer that struck a chord with her. Being around her, caring for her kept the serpents within her at bay -- for a while. What seems to be a promising friendship suddenly spirals out of control. Jennifer unwittingly sets off a reaction that allows her to witness the monster that Ebony really is.Part I ends here and leaves you ready for more. It is a shame that we have to wait but it is sure to be well worth the wait if this first part is any indicator. The story moves fast without leaving you feeling like you are missing important information. Put this one on your must read list today.
