Crimson Shadows by Trisha Baker
I love vampire books, I really do, but I don’t like starting them with the third book in the series. At best it’s erotica fanfiction, at worst, a money grab from the Twilight era of books. The plot is fairly simple: “Born to vampire parents and raised separately from her twin brother, also an immortalContinue reading “Crimson Shadows by Trisha Baker”

Salem’s Lot * Stephen King (Or the best vampire book since Dracula)
“The town knew about darkness. It knew about the darkness that comes on the land when rotation hides the land from the sun, and about the darkness of the human soul” Vampires are so over-rated or so people think. We’ve had Twilight, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Strain, The Summoning, Anne Rice’s Vampire Chronicles andContinue reading “Salem’s Lot * Stephen King (Or the best vampire book since Dracula)”
The Annihilation Score * Charles Stross
