The Network

review 1: Khalida is a vampire, and in the thousands of years she has existed she's managed to pile up some secrets, as well as a group of trusted individuals hired to help guard them. Her group is called the Network and their talents range from personal security, to computer hacking, to tracking her enemies, to reinventing Khalida's identity when she's stayed in one place too long. Her life doesn't foster the ability to get close to others very often but when the lives of the few she calls friends are threatened by events from Khalida's ancient past, she must do everything in her power to protect those she cares about.Reining In offers an interesting take on vampire mythology in a fast paced, high-action story. Author Dawn Judd creates an intriguing heroine in the vampire Khalida. ... moreWith a genre populated by sparkling, spooky and seductive males, the female with fangs was a refreshing change of pace. Equal parts dangerous hunter and vulnerable friend, Khalida is the element that makes this novel a worthwhile read and I am eager to see where Judd leads her characters in the sequel Phantom Rising.
review 2: I have a love/hate relationship with books featuring vampires. Some focus on aspects I’m not fond of or feel like carbon copies of other books and stories. Very few have the right mix of things to draw me in. Reining In (The Network) does just that.The main character Khalida isn’t your typical vampire. She is a creature of emotion and secrets, one who feels all too human. Her personality and her novel approach to living in a human dominated world are two of the things that drew me to the book. Like Khalida, the other characters in the book are fleshed out. Each one has their own motivations and secrets which play a part in the story.As a whole, the story is enjoyable. There are a few twists and turns as you learn more about Khalida and her current situation. The author is able to impart a sense of urgency without rushing the plot.The author could have added a little bit more information about the vampires of her world. This didn’t hurt the story or my enjoyment. less
