Dale Mayer: Vampire in Denial

This was yet another of my free downloads and God knows I should stop but I can't. I'm in a hurry these days and finishing a normal novel in time for a weekly Sunday review is kinda hard and since these e-books tend to be shorter, it's all you're gonna get till I have more time. Sorry.
When I was reading the first chapters of this book I thought I wouldn't make it because it sounded so lame. A teenage girl who is born to a vampire family but somehow doesn't inherit most of the traits and is trapped between the world of humans (who she goes to school with) and family (who somehow doesn't like having an odd child). And of course, she will turn out to be the most extraordinary of the bunch. Nothing new in here. And when her love interest is kidnapped by vampires...
... it actually gets better. Because that's when the action starts. At last! And it gets into this gruesome part where people are held in suspended animation so that the vampires can keep the blood flowing from them for years and years. It's called a blood farm. And when things get really interesting (because I don't give a rat's ass if the protagonist winds up with her human crush or her brother's best friend who suddenly noticed she grew a pair of boobs) the book ends. ON. A. FRICKIN'. CLIFFHANGER. You know my aversion towards those.

GENRE: action horror even though the start is too romance-y
FANGS OUT: it's got elements of action
FANGS RETRACTING: a cliffhanger!, too one-sided
TOTAL SCORE:
