Review: If you want a book full of sex, vampires, romance
and action then this book is for you. I thoroughly enjoyed this first novel in
the Pyte/Sentinel series and I can promise you that the other books in the
series are even better. I will warn you that my review does point out some of
the not so great sides of this book, but in the end try to look past those and
read this book anyway.
I was skeptical of this book at first. I mean I bought it
for 99 cents on my e-reader. Let’s be honest, sometimes those really cheap books
that are self-published are not that good. Now this book does have some typos
and errors in it, which drives me a little crazy since I am an editor, but the
typos/errors were not as bad as I thought it would be given the price and that
it was self-published.
Yes, there is a broody vampire and he of course falls in
love with the woman with the messed up life, and don’t forget that their
officially getting together takes a good while, but don’t be discouraged. Beyond
that vampire nuisance there is a whole new vampire world to devour. Sit back
with this book and enjoy the new and interesting take on vampires that R.L.
Mathewson shows us. It is refreshing. Ephraim, the main vampire, is a Pyte, a
whole different rare species of vampire that will have you wanting more. I
refuse to say more about what a Pyte is, you will just have to read the book to
find out.
I would call this book Twilight for adults but with a little
more action. Even though I would say this book is considered to be a romance, I
also think that it has a decent amount of action for those of you, like me,
that want more than just romance in their books. The characters are also far
from boring. You will find Madison and Ephraim entertaining. You will find
Candy to be intolerable and Joshua to be a cutie pie. All the characters are
different and all of them are worth reading about.
I do wish this book was a little bit longer, but the other books
in this series are a longer so I have decided that I can’t really complain. This
electronic book is worth the 99 cents. Please take a chance on this author and
check out this book. I highly doubt you will be disappointed.
Rating: 4.5/5
