A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
2.0
I got this book from [a:Bella Forrest|6860531|Bella Forrest|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1405164341p2/6860531.jpg] in exchange for an honest review.
And I wished I could give it more than 2 stars, but I just can't... I couldn't get myself invested in it, I had to force myself to finish it, even though it was only short (that's why it took a long time). I can't exactly explain why that was though, but I'm going to try.
First of all the characters felt really flat to me. You're not really getting to know them, not really getting to know why they do things, and that's something I usually search for in books. I didn't get why Derek fell so much in love with Sofia (I could understand the interest in her, but not the way it played out), I didn't get any reasons for the behaviour of Lucas...
The story isn't very original, girl gets kidnapped by vampire, vampire falls in love with her, at the end girl realises she loves him as well, so that didn't do it for me either.
Was it really bad? No, it wasn't, but it was'nt original and compelling enough to earn more than 2 stars, for me at least.
