review 1: I think this is a very nice Vampire fiction - totally enjoyable and decently paced. One thing that works for this novel is the fact that there are 2 love stories intertwined which makes up for some interesting moments. I liked the fact that author didnt make any of the protagonists totally super-humanly awesome - like sooooo beautiful, sooooo dazzling etc etc... I can see Nicholas, Kieran, Lucy or Solange as cute teen sitcom stars, nothing awe inspiring about them. They dont have any super powers other than what either birth or training gave them. In case of Nick or Solange, there is nothing that makes them awesome above their siblings or parents..Also liked the fact that unlike all these teen fictions where teens kinda jumped in and saved the world, while anyone above age... more of 19 was totally helpless [looking at you Rick Riordan!!!] , in this book adults did all the saving part while teens [both vampires and humans] did what they do best - enjoy life and kiss each other :)Over all very enjoyable and kudos to author especially for not overdramatizing the moment Solange turned :)
review 2: Now I am a supernatural fanatic. I love reading books with werewolves, witches, vampires, the fae, I love them all. So when I found this series I fell in love. The first book of the Drake Chronicles is an enticing intro to the series. A princess ready to awaken, a best friend willing to do anything to save her, and the Queen of Vampires who sets out to trap the confused, clay-loving princess. It was simply remarkable. I loved flipping through the pages and reading both Solange's and Lucy's point of view. Their personal lives and love stories definitely amused me by far. I would have to say that this book was quite short, only about 200 pages long. But every page was enjoyable. There was just enough action, just enough romance to keep me reading. This being the first book of the series means I have read the rest. I am determined to read and see what is yet to come. I recommend this book to teenage girls mainly, due to the romance. However, I believe boys may also enjoy this book as there is some action involved. Over all I recommend it to teenage readers, maybe even young adults. I really loved this book. I didn't rate it that high, only three stars as I know that I loved the book, but it was only the beginning of the series. There is still more yet to come. Enjoy the book!-cvsky101- less
