Overview
Kenna is a succubus who until here "awakening", had no idea what she was. She is different from others of her kind. She has a pure soul and doesn't feed to kill and chooses her "meals" only to help the nerdy, awkward men by implanting suggestions of confidence and self esteem after she has feed. Because she feels like it is a curse, she isolates herself and lives a life of relationship solitude. Enter in, mysterious, rich, gorgeous vampire.... "the inspiration for Dracula", or so we are told. Now this is the fun part..... they go on a date, disaster strikes, and.............. the book ends.
My Review
2 stars(only because it had potential)
Hmmmm......
...... Hmmmm.....
This book was frustrating, to say the least. I feel as if this wasn't a complete book, more like the first quarter of a book. The characters were just developing, as was the plot. The author was just starting to give Kenna some depth and the first real climax happens and then proof! The book ends. I understand an author wanting to garner more attention with an epic series but if it would flow better as one book, then just do that because as it is, this book just isn't worth the money for its content. I can honestly say that I am left with no desire to finish this series or spend another penny on what is sure to be another incomplete story.
I find myself actually disliking this book the more I try to review it. The love interest is a typical paranormal vampire portrayal. You know the type.... rich, gorgeous, most powerful of his kind, blah blah blah. The author even tried to make fun of this stereotype, but making fun of it doesn't make it any less predictable or annoying.
Also, while I am obviously not one to set the great example for grammar perfection (I am a part of the spell check generation, sad I know!), there is something to be said for editing. Most writers, in my experience, treat their written works as their babies, so I would think proof reading would be a top priority. While the mistakes were not overwhelming and horribly impacting, they were irritating.
So with what seems to be a growing trend, this new paranormal fantasy book just wasn't worth my time or money and has given me even less hope of this genre pulling out of its slump of awful books.
