I really like a story about vampire. Its makes me believe like a real story more about slyvio changing her life. This review is very interesting especially the part that say" i also enjoyed the fact that the author puts her own spin on vampires"

Paranormal novels plus strong and cool heroines really rock. I love that the author added a new twist in most paranormal characters. Thank you for the review!

After reading through this overtly clear review, one thing that features so opposite to what we imagine about all vampires, witches and demons is that they aren't predominantly the bad creatures. However, some tough choices somewhere along their past made them acquire the hellion characteristics - against their own volition. The review is striking our imagination so vividly and puts us on the way to realizing that vampires and demons could also be characters that need to be understood and not rebuked and trashed. Before Sylvio (main character) was a vampire, he was a slave to a vampire paying off for his past of fighting vampires and demons. It turned out that this working for vampire transformed him into vampire too, albeit out of his own volition. Rachel on the other hand is the narrator of the story. For her to get cured of her born cancer, she had to allow Sylvio feed off of some blood from her to get healed. The result is that her blood contaminated with that of vampire and she became a witch - not what she intended. I need to read this book, it sure must make a great read for guys like me fond of mind intriguing fantasy. Awesome review!

I find I can tolerate violence if it fits well with the story; thanks for the heads up about this being well written.

Thanks for the excellent review. I am not a fan of vampire stories but I find this interesting and intriguing because Selvio the vampire is different from the typical vampires we have met.

Well,I was a bit discouraged with e vimpire Sylvio's lifestyle. It begun to sound more terrifying and horrific in the way how the Protagonist of the story commenced her witchcraft deeds....'sucking someone's blood to earn life'.,this is reveals facts that are more horrible,, However on the other hand the book turned to became more interesting and l then started being in love with the context since the investigation of how Sylvio's life was like and how it feels on her own being a vimpire,,the story I realised latter that you might even tend to abscond school lessons in trying to figure out more about what is going to happen more out of the vimpire tale..I'm in love with the book now and the story suddenly became more of my concerns :reading-6: :reading-6:

Thanks for the comments everyone. If any of you do read this book, I would love to hear what you thought of it. I always like a second opinion about stories I read!
