Search - Dhampir (Noble Dead, Bk 1)

Another good but not great book. The book is only 375 pages long but it has taken me 4 days to read it. It was sooooo sllloooowwww. The story and the characters were good but it dragged out and wandered around until it finally got to the point. Its a 3 out of 5 and I will probably not be reading the other books.

Well written vampire story set in a world that is not too fantastic, but more like an alternate history/ middle ages type world, where elves are known to exist and vampires and other undead are rumored to exist, but they are thought of as a superstition by most.

On the cover there is an asinine blurb that says that this book is a combination of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lord of the Rings. If by that you mean that there are vampires, like in Buffy and elves, like in LOTR; then yes, it is EXACTLY like those stories.(only completely different.)

Slow to get started, but nicely drawn characters and eventually proves a likeable, if not top-rate, time passer.

I enjoyed the series.

I tried I couldn't get through it, not my cup of tea. Gave up half way through.

I liked the premise of this book and I liked the first few chapters until I realized it was all a scam. I kept waiting for something supernatural to happen with Magiere and Leesil. Their "adventures" are rather boring but they turned out to be interesting characters nonetheless.

The move to respectibility was a good start but the new town had real vampires and the town expected the "vampire hunter" to take care of the problem and so did I. Somewhere around page 200 the action heated up and Magiere finally, finally started to act like a hunter.

I understand that this is the first book in the series and must build the world and characters so I'll try book two and hope it has more action.
