The Next Great Vampire Book?
What is the next great vampire book? I have read a great many in my day. The most recent? The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer.
The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer
Yes, I must admit I got through the whole Twilight series in about 2 days. (Pleeeeeeese finish Breaking Dawn, Stephenie, pleeeeeease!) I couldn’t put it down. The characters are addicting as well as the story. Yes, I had my moments where I found myself rolling my eyes going, “Oh, man… really???!!! Ok, I’ll go with it!”. But, come on. It is a young adult book. And for that – such wonderful books with unforgettable characters.
The Cullens
The vampire legend evolved with the Twilight Saga. There are fresh new ideas and twists to the vampire legend. Vampires that sparkle in the sunlight! I can deal with that! A vampire that is even more beautiful than I ever imagined?? Yes, please! Avoid the sunlight because they gleam like diamonds instead of burn to ashes, yes I can definitely handle that and so can my stomach!
Midnight Embrace
So, I just finished a book called Midnight Embrace by Amanda Ashley (because I am on a mission to read ALL vampire books). I must admit it had no depth to it. And although I read it entirely in about 2 days (because how can I resist a vampire story????) I found myself laughing when I turned the last page.
The story was not that interesting and the vampire …. so so. How can you have a vampire be a so so character? Dammit, it was even a ROMANCE novel!! (Ok ok I know…. a romance novel? Really? Yes really.. ALL vampire books!) At least it could have had some steamy sexy vampire love scenes. I want eternal lust and love!! …but, nooooooooooooooooo….. even the sex scenes were pretty lame.
So, I will give this particular book — V 1 fang.
So, I ask… what is the next great vampire book? Pleeeeeease! I’m aching to read one!
