So this book’s story is based upon the premise that Vampires
did not inherently stem from a curse from god, or that they are demons or evil
incarnate. This book proposes the theory that Vampires are a form of Natural
Evolution of the Human species. That one does not Die and then re awaken as a
blood sucking tyrant, rather one falls ill and in this illness the person falls
into a coma like state and when they awaken they are remade.
Reading it as a vampire novel only this book might not do it
for you. It didn’t for me until I simply stopped trying to see the vampires
that I have become used to and started to see this as the story and adventures
of Kate Sutton a young girl who, through unfortunate events gets captured,
tortured and turned into a half-breed. Reading it as a adventure for her,
following her story, the vampire aspect falls to the background only reemerge
here and there, staying relevant and not distracting from the main story.
The ending was good; however, since it is the first in a
series, the ending does leave some loopholes that will hopefully be tied up in
the next book. I truly enjoyed reading this book and will recommend it to
others.
