Blood of the Earth by Faith Hunter

5.0

Faith Hunter has a way of enlarging the first-person perspective that allows the reader to slip in as if they were reading a version of their own lives. The differences become no less jarring but they are experienced as a form of self-reflection. With Nell, a character as strong as she is witty, as family-centered as she is independent and prone to as many errors as the rest of us, Hunter has created a profoundly human character even as she is anything but. If you want a walk into a new world, one where the existent of vampires is actually less strange than the puritanical cult right next door, then prepare to be drawn in and not let go.
