Review: Not One of Her Best
Rating: 2 out of 5

A woman finds herself suddenly turned into a vampire. She finds out it is not quite like the legends and books. Trapped in a vampire-filled house, she has to decide who is to be trusted.The story is short and relatively fast. There is not a lot of description which can be good and bad. I personally don’t like a ton. The story itself had a lot of potential. I could see it even being expanded into a full blown novel, but many story lines were not followed or developed. I felt that the book was just a rough overview of a much better story. Too many times, I found myself asking ‘Why?’ as the main character moved through the story. Sadly, I never found an answer to those questions. I felt that the story and the characters were too undeveloped. Scenes would change suddenly. The characters would say and do things that seemed disjointed and unnatural. I couldn't understand the story as it moved. Just when it was about to explode into something wonderful it would switch and I would be left hanging. Plus, the main character fell too quickly for her savior. There wasn't enough development there.Overall, the story is good. It was unique and refreshing, but seemed to still be in draft form. Editing was lacking as characters and events felt out of line and didn't sync up. I do wish the author would take another swing at this and turn it into something truly amazing. It has all the elements of a great book.I say this because I have read another of Ms. Winters work and loved it. She is a very talented writer. I just think that this book did not live up to her full potential.For this book, I don’t recommend, but please check out more of Ms. Winters books.Note: This book was received as part of a book tour with no expectation of a positive review.
