Fresh Blood by Nicole Arend
4.0

The ending completely made this book

To be honest I wasn't sure at first and would normally have quit based on the plot errors (one minute they're drinking blood vodka then it's actually beer etc) however because it was a vampire story I kept with it and I am SO glad I did.

Now I'm not going to lie, it is complete teenage, vampire trash; sex, drinking, breaking the rules, learning about different parts of yourself and growing as a person (vampire?) but that is to be expected and if you've picked this book up thinking you'll get something sophisticated then you'll be let down. The characters are pretty two-dimensional and feel like there have been keywords attached to each name to summarise their whole personality, FOR EXAMPLE, Bik; tech savvy, quick-witted and not much else.

Despite its failings, it is the perfect easy read, thrilling yet emotional; it kept me hooked, even if I cringed every time I had to read the words jaysus, feckin' or jeez.

If you like a vampire story I would definitely recommend it, especially if you're in a reading rut. It is the perfect book for fans of First Kill, Winx or The Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina.

Super fun, sexy, vampire trash.
