My review:
The author has created an interesting new world of vampires and legends. And I was really looking forward to reading it and finding out all about this new world of vampires and lore. These are not your normal everyday vampires that drink blood, they absorb energy and can go out in the day and can use spells and wards and glamour. They are really a very mixed race of creatures among many of the types of paranormal beings we are used too. The author really has created a great and interesting new world.
However it is a very long book, which normally wouldn't bother me, but I had a lot of trouble getting into it. I think its a great story and could make an excellent book and series. But it started out slow and just ended up dragging a bit too much for me to really get into it and care about the characters. I think that if the story was tightened up I would have loved it.
