*** my verified purchase review is on the UK site ***A refreshing vampire taleBlood, lust, power, domination, cruelty, lust- this has it all. It's great to read a decent vampire story for once. So many over recent years have pandered to the YA readership and lost the magic that makes vampire stories great... you know, the fact they are deadly killing machines with an exotic and malicious attraction!This book brings back the sense of underlying danger and yet attraction to the genre. The story is fresh and while vampire wars aren't original- this is certainly a unique take. I love ancient Egypt, and this ticked all my boxes!Writing wise, Irina Argo should be proud. It's got a great pace, the grammar is good and I believe in what she's saying. The characterisation is good and just layered enough so we don't doubt actions and understand consequences. There are brushes of humour that contrast well with the dark and ominous tone.Overall, this is fab. Buy it!
