This poor book, it kept getting put aside as all the books I requested from the library came in, you know, the ones you wait to release for over a year. Anyway, this was a lengthy book, split it two parts by the author, but it was very good. This was a different vamp story and a very unique take on blood bonds, it was also very different in where did vamps originate from. The author spends a bit of time telling that tale and it was really original, or at least, I've never heard of before, and was quite the tale. It is also very important as it plays a central part throughout. Good, solid characters, all of them. There is alot of secrets and twists and turns and deceitfulness going on. I definitely will be following this author. I hope in the next one that not only does the conflict continue with the Amiti but we also get a really bad villain. Vampire Elite has a similar feel of Gena Showalter and the White Wolf Vampires the Masquerade books. It’s told third person with multiple character viewpoints and has a variety of supernatural clans – quite literally, at each other’s throats. It’s set in some lovely locations and has some very nice turns of phrase.From a writer’s perspective, my only criticisms are really down to personal preference. The Glossary was a bit annoying at the start of the book. One of my favourite authors, Karen Marie Moning has them in her books, but they are nestled firmly at the back of the book so can be ignored if the reader chooses.I’m not a big fan of head hoping and the book does spend time on lots of different characters – again just my personal taste here (I couldn’t get into the Game of Thrones books either – as they do a similar thing.)Overall I’d give Vampire Elite 3 out of 5 stars. It was a great premise and had some strong characters. It has the potential to be an evolving series, rich with plots. It would make a good supernatural soap opera.
What do You think about Vampire Elite (2013)?
Oh. My. God. It seriously did NOT just end like that!!! Book 2 better come out fast!
