Talk about a cliff hanger! What a hook into the next book! Sometimes this works, sometimes not...this time, it did for me!
The story opens with Amy as a small child, human, taken in by vampires as part of their social need to help the less fortunate. Or is it?
Amy joins a resistance group, fighting the supernaturals who have taken over the world. She meets and rescues a boy, whose mysterious father has her all tied up in emotional knots. Can she trust him?
Good start to the series! A little short, but intense!

I think it was okay. A nice introduction for the beginning of the story, though too fast paced for my liking. It was so quick that the storyline got quite messy and confusing. I am interested in the mystery presented by the newcomer, as well as Amy's past which led her to be part of the Resistance.

Book Review- Resistance by Patricia Mason
Amy is human but was adopted by vampires as the result of Prince Leopold’s Operation Re-parentage. On her thirteenth birthday, her parents throw her a party. Something devastating happens that changes her life.
Eight years later she is a part of the human resistance. She is known as Corporal Amy. She and her superior are in route to talk to a demon for information on what Prince Leopold might be doing now. The way is dangerous and Driscoll is not being careful as they make their way. They come across a ghoul feeding on a young boy. Amy can’t stand to leave even though Driscoll gives her a direct order. She can’t leave the boy to that fate. Her guilt won’t allow her. She fights to free the boy as Driscoll stands and does nothing. The boy, Cam, ends up helping save himself from the ghoul. Once free the group including Cam continue on to see the demon.
Things get worse. Cam’s father is missing, Fenwick’s shop is attacked by ravens, and a mystery man named Marlowe shows up. Amy has no clue who to trust or what she should do. Nothing is going as it should and she doesn’t know who is the enemy and who is not, but Prince Leopold needs to be stopped.
I liked this story. It was pretty action packed and full of paranormal characters. There are a lot of secrets brewing. Something happened to Amy that she refuses to think about. We don’t know who or what Marlowe is, yet he seems to know more about Amy than he lets on. Lots and lots of unknowns being thrown at the reader. As you read more questions are raised then answered.
As a result there just wasn’t enough in this book for me. I felt as things were getting started, the story was over. I had a “that’s it” reaction at the end. Too short but a good story plot. I give it a 3 out of 5.

Resistance by Patricia Mason
The Dark Realm Series Volume One
Corporal Amy is part of the Human Resistance London Regiment. As humans the Resistance aren’t real big on Supes, so Amy kept it a secret that she had special abilities. Like how she knows about Cameron and helps rescue him. Unfortunately rescuing him has his father coming into the picture and Amy struggles between trusting the man and wanting to throw herself into his arms.
Bad things are starting to happen and it looks like Amy may have to take Marlowe along with her to try and rescue the humans from the ghouls and other monsters who follow the orders of Prince Leopold.
From vampire horses to zombie donkeys, the author has supes of all types in this story. A universe where the humans are outnumbered and considered no less than cattle for the monsters to feed on. I enjoyed this unique paranormal and will be awaiting the rest of the series to see what adventures are ahead for Amy and her comrades.
Volume 2 - Vengeance
Volume 3 - Betrayed
Volume 4 – Surrender

It was ok. If this is the first of a series I could have used a few more background detail on some of the terminology etc. And there was some type of interview at the end. Not really sure what that was all about. Also it was way too short with a rather abrupt ending. I don't think this actually qualifies as a novel. More like a short story or a preview I guess? Not really sure what's up with that. It seems to have some interesting beginnings but there's not much to go on at this point. I feel like it's just a gimmick to make me hunt down book 2. Lol

This is just the beginning, so it's hard to write anything. Read well, the story promises to be interesting.

I didn't realize it wasn't a full book. Or that it was part 1 of a series so I was shocked when it sort of just stopped mid plot. But I liked what was there and I am looking forward to more.

When things where getting good, it ends. It leaves you hanging! When is the second part coming out?!?!?! I want to know more about this Marlowe guy, he looks really interesting.
