Review: Thirst and Consequences
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 04 7, 2012
Vampire stories, literature and folklore, I'm addicted to them. Of course you can't compete with Ann Rice whose books have sold over 100 million copies, expertly written in the genres of metaphysical Gothic fiction, Christian literature and erotica. And, of course she attended San Francisco State University and obtained a B.A. in Political Science in 1964 and an M.A. in Creative Writing in 1972 as I had from Berkeley in 1972. Then there is her Interview with the Vampire. Who doesn't love that fine piece.All that written, I can tell you I really liked reading Claire Farrell's Thirst. The plot was fun and delicious at times, the characters were well drawn, including the vampires and the pacing was balanced. Her writing style was simple and concise, however, I was a little concerned about Ava's repetitious deliberations over her thirst for Carl and hungry affection for Pete, but then again, her heritage was in question, which created internal confusion.My name is Ben Campbell and I'm the author of an exciting mercenary turned philanthropist action adventure trilogy, starting with my novel Dubrovnik, which leads into its sequel "Vitruvian Man" and finishes up with Regeneration. My new novel Regeneration will hit the bookstores soon, so go ahead and start reading Dubrovnik. All three novels stand alone but I suggest reading them sequentially for the complete impact.You can purchases all my novels as Kindle editions here on amazon.com.
