About book The Vampire From Hell: The Beginning (2011)
It's not easy being Satan's daughter especially when you want to save humans from the fate he has in store for them. But when she gets caught helping them, Daddy is not very pleased.I was a bit unsure how to rate this one, going between 2.5 and 3 stars. It was interesting enough to read and I liked the pet hellhound Blick. He was pretty cool. I didn't fully connect with Rayea though she was a decent character but I didn't dislike her either. The story was well written and delivered and I can't really say that there was anything about it that annoyed me or anything. But it was just lacking that something for me to give it a higher mark. Random irritation: at one point Rayea says she can imagine herself as Sarah Connor in the Terminator, looking all toned and ready for some fighting action. Well it was actually Terminator 2 that Sarah was the ruthless action hero, not the original film where she was a quivering wreck! Things like that tend to bug me! I did NOT mark down for that though coz that would be dumb and pretty unfair! I'm giving this book three stars mainly for its interesting and creative premise (demon daughter of Satan as vampire). I wish I could rate it higher, because I see a lot of potential here. But I never did feel a connection to the main character; she spent far too much time in her own head, thinking about things I had no interest in (her crush on an actor, her smartphone/computer, her social media connections). The story just didn't grab me, and the excerpts from other stories in the series weren't enough to make up for that.
