A review by shellyzev
Destined to Kill by Jourdyn Kelly
4.0
*a copy of the book was provided to me by the author for review
Although this is a vampire book (and not a genre I usually read), I found this book to be interesting. The characters were well described and interesting. I also liked the strong heroine, Anala. She was described in detail and I actually did not hate her (which is hard for me, I tend to hate most major characters). I also enjoyed the author's interpretation of vampires. Unlike Twilight and other cliche book, the vampires in these stories were unevolved and were described as Cursed (an accurate description in my opinion). Another element I enjoyed was the other main characters, mainly the teenagers. I felt that the other characters seemed realistic in their speech and patterns but Anala (the MC) had a very formal speech pattern but it seems accurate considering her date of birth. The only thing that really stopped me from giving this wonderful book 5 stars is the romance. Although the romance was very well written and somewhat realistic, I felt that it happened to quickly in the story and it seemed very predictable. Other than that, this book was great. I recommend this book to anyone who is tired of vampire cliches and would like to see a fresh interpretation on the subject. Overall, this book was interesting and well written. I am eagerly awaiting the sequel in hopes that it will be even better than this book.
