So this book kinda had a True Blood kind of flavor, but I liked the characters better. Veronica was like Sookie meets Pam, but a lot more like it was written by Patricia Briggs and Jim Butcher.It had some of the best of a lot of works out there with a completely new take on Vampires. It didn't have a lot of whiny characters, and the world was really dark and kind of awesome.I loved it. I want more Frank!What can I say about this book that people who has had the pleasure of reading it haven't already said?This story is just as amazing as the trailer it has for it if not more so. The narration and characters are vibrant and almost instantly come alive while the story's read.Veronica has been through so much crap her entire life, and even after she meets Jules and he turns her, one would think her troubles would all be over. Not exactly. If anything in the times Jules turned her and then seemingly
I really enjoyed reading this book. I loved the combination of paranormal characters, especially the mix of zombies and vampires, my favourite. What you don't expect is that Veronica is a madam, who sells herself to whet you appetite and calm her needs. I found the blend of the life and the lifestyle given to her by Jules an interesting one. Though it is now a slightly more popular combination, this book was one of the first to blend them seamlessly, especially when it was first published.
I am blown away by how good this book was! V, the main character, is a vampire and quite a powerful womanin many different ways. ;-) However, there was a vulnerability about her that I havent seen with many vamp books. This one is about so much more than vampires. I love the family she has created and the loyalty that exists. This book was a roller coaster ride one moment I was cringing in disgust, the next moment I was laughing out loud and then the next moment I was tearing up. Several times
There is currently a barrage of books dealing with the supernatural and paranormal and very few of them are really worth the read. Blood & Spirits was a pleasant surprise that rose out of the drivel of most books in its genre and left me wanting more! I was actually upset when I finished the story that the second book was not yet out, but I have it on good authority it will be out before year end!Blood & Spirits delicately blends together so many things that can easily become cliche and
The Good:The heroine. Oh, how I love a kick-butt heroine. One that's in charge of her own life, that doesn't play the victim or spends page after page whining about her circumstances and how she's powerless to change them. And believe me, V would have every reason to whine or play victim, but she doesn't. She puts on a killer outfit, makes sure someone can manage her business while she's gone, and goes out and tries to figure things out on her own. Well, with the help of her
Basic review: This is not the great american novel. People will not be celebrating how it made humanity better as a whole. What it is is a good ride into the world of a middle-american madam with some peculiar habits and some strange friends...and stranger enemies. Good book, will read it again! Looking forward to the next one in the series! scroll down for larger review: --------------------------------------------- Do your vampires sparkle? Mine don't. Blood & Spirits does not contain
