Review of A Little Taste of Everyone
Posted: 10 Jul 2022, 01:50
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "A Little Taste of Everyone" by Zachary Cooper.]
When a newly turned vampire named Tina is discovered wandering the city streets, Zukail, called Zuke or Z, is tasked with helping her and finding out who her maker is. Using his abilities, Zuke helps Tina remember her turning by a member of an ancient group called The Fang, who want to take over the world. Zuke immediately contacts his boss, Xant, and she comes up with a plan for them to find and destroy The Fang. Will they succeed, or will this be just the first battle in a new war?
A Little Taste of Everyone by Zachary Cooper started off strong with some early action and the intriguing mystery about Tina. It is a short book with the PDF I read being only 127 pages long. There was a lot of action, and the short length meant there were only a few brief lulls. Despite the short length, there were also some good, detailed descriptions. These were my favorite things about this book.
However, while there’s decent world building and characterization, there were also things that were glossed over, like information about Zuke’s past and some details about the wider world outside of this one city. There’s one mention of vampires in other cities, but then it isn’t brought up again. This is meant to be the first in a series, so it feels like it’s just setting things up for the rest of the series and these things will be revealed later, but it did leave me with questions.
Other negatives of this book are that the writing doesn’t always flow smoothly, and there were some run-on sentences. And sometimes details of descriptions were repeated. For example, in chapter one, a minor character is described three times with a variation of “a woman in a computer chair at a small table by the stage in front of a laptop.” She was the only person in the room with a computer, so after the first time, she only needed to be described as the woman with the laptop.
There were also a lot of punctuation and capitalization mistakes, which was what I disliked the most. Since Cooper seems to be planning to continue this as a series, I would definitely encourage him to hire an editor or proofreader.
Due to the book’s negatives, I am rating this book 2 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book to someone looking for a vampire story that’s a quick read with a lot of action and is willing to over look its flaws. There are some descriptions of torture and extreme violence, but they are not very detailed.
