Blood Matters

Summary:

Brittany felt empty. This thing was going to turn her into a stone — inside and out. Petrified organs and stone-cold emotions. “Where are we getting our next boost from?” E.V. asked. Brittany rolled her eyes. Boost – like she was an addict looking to score her next hit. (Summary and cover courtesy of goodreads.com)

Review:

This was a book that I have mixed thoughts on.  On the pro side, the book was completely unique and certainly an interesting take on the “vampire” story.  Additionally, it was incredibly refreshing to have a story that is not a teaser for a new series that you’re going to be sucked into.  The concept and purpose of E.V. was also a creepy reveal to me.

The flip side to me is that I found the story somewhat repetitive at times.  I think the book could have been shortened quite a bit and it still would have been an equally compelling book.  My other complaint is that everything was wrapped up in the final 15% of the book and everything leading up to that was of the form “this happened, then this happened”.  Despite those critiques, this was still a solid book and I would certainly read future books from the author.

Warning: Contains frequent violence.

Rating: 3 stars!

Who should read it? Paranormal fans looking for something a little unusual.
