New Blood (Vampire in the City) by Donna Ansari
Hey guys,Couldn't stay away any longer. Had to do another review... It was itching to do a post. Think I'm hooked. Hehe
This review is about New blood. Its a book about vampires. Its not too bad actually. Ive seen a couple of vampire books that are trying to hard and its just a copy of Twilight or Morganville.
I got this on my daily look at amazon for free books, i love looking at new books. Best part of the day for me at the moment.
So let me get on with it...
On The Back
Emma Hammond is a normal young woman living in New York City whose life changes forever when one misstep brings her very close to death. Luckily, Alex Thompson, a handsome stranger (who also happens to be a vampire), jumps in to save her, turning Emma into a vampire. She quickly discovers the numerous advantages (no more allergies, glasses, or acne) and slight drawbacks (wanting to eat her boyfriend) of joining the ranks of the creatures of the night. But Emma soon finds out her new undead life isn't all it's cracked up to be when she gets pulled in to an age-old dispute between two feuding vampire clans.
I really enjoyed this book. I got it for free on day the other month and thought 'ill give it a go, what have i got to loose?' and I'm glad i did. After i read it ended up buying the other two books and reading them all in like 4 days.
I did find it a bit random how well she took the news. In most of the books you read when someone gets made a vampire they freak out and go on a mini rampage and stir up some trouble some where or they simply don't believe. I was expecting something to kick off but it turns out shes fine with it and she drinks from her boyfriend for the first time and doesn't even kill him!! Kinda disappointed with that if I'm honest because he's a major Dick!!!!!
But i did get over it as i got a bit further in.
After Emma is made she goes back to the house and feeds her cat, Gypsy, love the fact that she has and cat. She doesn't even have one thought about killing her. Awesome.
Also when its dawn and they need to sleep i found it interesting that all vampires just pass out wether they want to or not. Where ever they are they just drop. Its a nice twist to a normal thing. And the older they are the longer they sleep.
The next night Emma and her Maker, Alex, go and see the 'King' of the vampires as every new vampire should. He is another dick and you want to stake him too. Think its just the men in this book i don't like. Even Alex has his moments!
When they arrive and after the king gives a little speech, he sets them a task to carry out for him because Emma was made without his permission! Or so he says...
I don't really wanna tell you what the mission it because it might spoil it and I'm not about spoilers in my blog... They are no fun at all.
The characters we're worked really well together i thought. You do believe that Emma and Alex are meant to be ( thats not really a spoiler because its quite obvious lol). And I'm actually glad to see the back of the ex! Really really don't like him but thats what the writer might have wanted us to feel about him.
I cant really tell you much else without telling you the entire story so give it a go yourself.
On kindle it is currently 77p so its a right bargain its only 216pages but its a light read. So if you like easy readers or something that you like to read in basically a day, this is the book for you.
I don't actually think it is available on paper back which is a shame but all you kindle users are good to go :)
I gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating as i didn't like the reaction after Emma was made. I don't know why i didn't like it so much... I just didn't lol
Let me know what you guys think if you give it a go :)
Sending love
