As I just started this website, I have not yet any reviews to show you.
I do have my own book so please excuse me if I take this oppertunity to promote it.
Vampire Prince - by: Iris Van Gorp
Available on Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/Vampire-Prince-Vamps-Book-1-ebook/dp/B00KI091AW
As I can not write a review of my own book I copied one that some one posted in the ONlineBookClub:
Vampire Prince takes readers on a journey into the lives of humans, vampires, vampire hunters and carriers. When Noa's sister is savagely attacked and we learn of Daemon's loved one perishing mercilessly at the hands of vampires, Noa and Daemon soon join forces to try and avenge their loved ones and put an end to the vampire devastation that continues to sweep town to town. But when Noa falls hopelessly for and puts all her faith in the beautiful but cunning vampire Meteor, only more chaos and more destruction is sure to follow.
Vampire Prince is a riveting tale that plunges to the depths of the current vampire phenomenon. Notably the story possessed such a unique and highly explosive take on such phenomenon that I continued to be filled with a wealth of different emotions as I read every page. I was grateful that, unlike most vampire fiction, this story didn't feature the 'perfect' good-natured vampire as the main male protagonist. Instead it showed a darker and more depressing side to vampires which I thoroughly enjoyed. The pace of the novel, I felt could have been sped up in parts to better grip readers even more, as the length of this book was just too long to allow for one to garner a concise picture of this story in their head. Subsequently the story seemed never-ending, and thus reader's attention may begin to wane, when reading the POV of particularly less interesting protagonists. I am still on the fence as to whether or not I enjoyed this 'free for all' whereby the author allowed for the story to be told from nearly every character's POV in the story. I suppose it did give us readers more insight into secondary characters and their purpose in the story, however at times it became incredibly confusing and I found myself itching to skip over the POV's of people that weren't really focal to the story.
Nevertheless I appreciated the well-thought out plot-line of this novel and the intricate and detailed way that characters, particularly Daemon and her back-story were delved into. I also thought it clever the way that the author, through Daemon, ridiculed the vampire phenomenon in contemporary popular culture and worked it into this present vampire plot line. It seemingly gave the story a level of sophisticated irony. Furthermore, although I was impressed with the level of complexity of Daemon's character, I felt that Noa, on the other hand, lacked substance and was just a mediocre heroine. Her relationship with Meteor is what made her interesting rather than her being interesting herself. The stark difference in the levels of profundity that went into these two female protagonists, very much channeled how I felt about the author's writing style overall, because a wealth of depth was added to the story in some parts but was holistically lacking in other parts. I also found it frustrating the way that the author would concern herself with writing about one particular highly interesting event and then right in the middle of telling this story, would get carried away by telling someone's long-winded back-story that had nothing to do with the interesting event.
But what made this book truly epic for me was the character of Meteor. He was by far my favorite character throughout the whole story. I was highly fascinated by him as a person and the relationships he built with Noa and his brother. Additionally the new developments, and twists that surrounded his character were so well written and filled with so many shocking moments that whenever I was reading from his POV, I found myself being hopelessly sucked in page by page. He was just so mesmerizing and his actions were always so unexpected, that he literally blew me away and I could never get enough of reading about him, his dark and destructive nature and alternatively his more vulnerable side.
Overall the author's writing style was inspiring. She managed to get the balance between romance, the supernatural, comedy, mystery and action so perfectly right that her writing continued to blow my mind as I got deeper and deeper into this story
Having taken into account the traces of brilliant writing that was dotted throughout this novel, the promising development of the story and the mind-blowing character of Meteor, I give this book a 3 out of 4 stars. There is no doubt in my mind that this book was a truly divine piece of writing.
