Another vampire story...
I received to review Pretty When She Dies series, and considering that the volumes are connected, continuing the story from one volume to the next, I decided to talk more about the series in general and not just about a single volume. Somehow this development of the story suited me simply because I was not driven to despair as in other series by the abundance of refreshers, motivations or explanations regarding the characters from previous volumes. I find these useless as long as they are independent books even if they have the same main characters. With Pretty When She Dies is another situation and you should take it from the beginning, but honestly I tell you that you will not regret.
As the author also states in an introductory note, the series is not for those who are in love with Edward and Twilight. It is quite the opposite of that series; the characters may be vampires but they are a very different kind. They are not the romantic and mysterious ones from classic novels either on the contrary, they are similar to those from True Blood. I say that just to get an overall picture, do not go too far and get the idea that Pretty When She Dies is a True Blood's clone. It's a well written and original story, that will satisfy your craving for vampires ... let say for more special ones. More special exactly because the way they are: more full of life, more passionate, carnal, but without that kind of cold sensuality filled with a slightly old-fashioned romance that you are used with. Their life is more entwined with the humans not only from the diet point of view, but in terms of relationship, of the adventures experienced and of the family ties that some of them don’t want or cannot forget.
The series is full of action and although our heroine finds herself trapped in a strange new world, will not hesitate or pity herself but she will venture into unknown in order to understand her new condition. But this very impulsive and typical human reaction will get her in trouble, make her stumble almost all the time and that will bring her on the razor edge all over again. Salvation will appear as ... what do you think ... love. But love will not bring her the dreamed haven instead will throw her in the world of the big, bad boys. A world that she would not have imagined as a simple human, a world also difficult to conceive as a vampire. A world where the little vamp becomes the big prize for a whole league of monsters. And the fauna that inhabits this parallel world is bizarre and various: ruthless vampires, ghosts, undead, witches, werewolves, vampire hunters, bounty hunters, necromancers ... seems enough? And all of the above put in their plans to snatch our heroine. Will they succeed? Will she escape and save the loved ones? Read the series and find out. I guarantee that you will like the adventures of this less orthodox vampire.


A vampire story and not only that that you will love and that you can confidently put on the same shelf with the famous titles of the genre.
Happy reading!
