"Review"
This
book is every readers fantasy. Imagine your favourite fictional
character coming to life and he happens to be a vampire. That is what
happened to Amy when her beloved fictional hero came to life but it had
its consequences as well. Alexander
Banks is charming, handsome and brave. He came to "this" world chasing
his Vampire enemy Vigo, who is ruthless and must be killed.
I
must admit that the story wasn't anything exceptional but it is so well
written that I couldn't put it down once I started reading. apart from
the fact that it is paranormal novel (which happens to be another one of
my favourite genre) it also portrays the characters with depth and
makes you feel as if they were real and they can actually come to life.
The climax of the book was epic, so not to give any spoilers, I can only
say that it was amazing and to date one of my favourite paranormal
books.
