Exciting new vampire series Bloodpledge is the 2nd in the Dantonville Series and the first one I have had the pleasure to read. Although a continuation of Bloodgifted, it does make a fine stand-alone novel. It has been a couple of years since I last read a vampire novel after they reached saturation point and it was nice to come back to the genre. Set in the sunny climate of Sydney Harbour, Australia, Bloodpledge offers some originality to the popular genre and the use of the Ingenii powers offers a refreshing twist into the mix. I enjoyed the history of the vampires and believe there would be more about their origins in the other books in the series. |
It took me a while to get into the start of the novel, for the action is slow to take off, but it does build nicely to a thrilling conclusion. There were a couple of points that jarred with me, such as ancient vampires speaking in such modern language and also being written first person present tense from two points of view.
Overall I found Bloodpledge enjoyable to read and would definitely recommend it to fans of the paranormal genre. It was well edited and easy to follow.
Note: I was fortunate to win this book in a competition, along with a beautiful silver locket. My opinions are, as always, my own.
