Helpful Score: 11
I have now read the first book of three different Vampire Series (Twilight, Marked and Blue Bloods) of the three this one I liked the least.
Why didnt I like it? There was way too much set up for the next book. I understand wanting to write a series, today they are really hot, but you still, in my opinion, need a complete story in one book. This book didnt have one. In fact what little bit of a story it did have Im not sure got wrapped up. There are so many loose ends that it may take the author a dozen books to finish what she has started.
On top of that for a Young Adult book there sure is a lot of Adult situations. Drinking, Drugs and a pretty hot and heavy almost sex scene pepper the pages.
What did I like? Oh I love more than anything how she has mixed histories mysteries and a touch of mythology into the Vampire lore. It is a fresh and new approach. Now you may be thinking, wait Anne Rice did that, but this is different.
I do want to continue reading to see just how much the author chooses to wrap up but I must admit if she doesnt have a complete story in the next book then I am done with this particular series.
