Vampires Really?

OK, I must confess, I have read the Twilight series.  I know, I know a series author and reader reading and liking Twilight?  Shocking, yes.  Of course, once I got over all the hoopla I kind of got over the whole vampire thing.  I will occasionally pick up a spine tingling blood-thirsty thriller, but I tend to be a little more in to Science Fiction and High Heroic Fantasy.  So, when I came across another vampire novel I was sceptical, but I decided to purchase it from Kindle e-books anyway.

The title of the book is Breathless by Scott Prussing.  I am reading the story between writing sessions and I have to say, so far I am really enjoying it.  There seem to be two ways to look at vampires; either they are soulless, blood sucking ghouls or highly romantic lost souls.  This book seem to follow neither of these patterns.  The hero of the story is a highly sympathetic young girl on the verge of starting on an epic quest.  I really like this girl's attitude and sense of independence, despite the obstacles in her path.

I have only made it to Ch. 4 in my reading so far, but the book is easy to read and has a nice flow to the writing.  It's fun to see a vampire story written in  new light.  There's just enough thrill to keep me interested and I always like the idea of a strong female lead.  Prussing does a good job creating a believable female character with a mind and a soul of her own.  I look forward to reading the rest of the book and sharing my thoughts when I finish the story.

Yes, vampires, really.
