This book turned out to be better than I expected. When I first saw the cover, the title and the synopsis in the back I didn't expect that much from this book. I expect the story to be a rather easy read with a slightly underdeveloped story line. I didn't get that and I am happy about that. What I got was a nice developed story line. It didn't just have vampires and master vampires but it had Angels and demons in there as well, as well as small bits that added to the story line and helped the story to flow along nicely.The book wasn't flat out amazing but it was pretty good. In the end the story was a lot better than I expected and I would recommend that people give it a try. In a world where Vampires were ruling literature was the year 2010/2011 , it was all the craze to read supernatural fiction and myself I loved it . I brought alot so this year is my year to catch up on reading books on my shelf. Remember the two men who slayed Dracula - Jonathon Harker and Van Helsing , well this novel Slayed talks about their descendants we have the Van Helsing family consisting of Mum , Dad and daughter Daphne and the Harker family consisting of Dad and son Tyler. These two families have been killing vampires for years and were the best of friends until an incident occured which caused the families to fall-out and stick to their own territories until now. Called up for a job, the Van Helsings and Harkers have been employed for the same job which causes friction. Soon the families decide that the only way to make it fair is that they are paid for the vampires that their team kills. One night while out scoping the clubs, Daphne comes across a vampire feeding and kills him leaving behind though a witness Kiki who now in order to keep her happy wants to become a Vampire slayer. If Daphne training her wasn't enough for her to keep her busy, Daphne's developing feelings for Tyler Harker . A fun, enjoyable read about the descendants of Van Helsing and Harkers. I quite enjoy Amanda Marrone's books and if you are in the mood for a rendition of Snow White -Check out Devoured and wanting a ghost story check out Uninvited and for a Witch tale check out her novel Revealers.
