review 1: I really enjoyed Vampire LA, even more than Miami but I can't rate it higher than 3 stars. Here is why:1. I don't ever have a sense of knowing these characters. Selah doesn't behave like a 17 year old in any way shape or form. Cloud? Who is he? Right now he is a sweet dedicated generic Asian guy in love with Selah. Where did he come from? Why, after knowing Selah for less than a week was he willing to sacrifice his life and liberty to help her? Theo. I liked him, I mean really liked him, but I wanted to know more. At first he seemed sad and tormented, then he seemed plain nuts! All that blibber about Sethe and his love for her and how Selah reminded him of Sethe and how Selah had his heart from day one? That sounded cray cray. I would have like more about his and Sethe's h... moreistory, how Sethe became Arachne, how the vampire king changed him and why he wanted to separate them. I'd like to know more about this Native American vampire Selah is supposed to be descended from. Selah is searching for her father and we get literally nowhere in that search. I'd like to know more about his research and what happened to him. I would like to see more flesh on the bones of this book.2. Timing. I love that this story was full of twisty turns and excitement. It kept me coming back to read more. I just had to know what happened next. But this story moved too quickly to allow for any decent back story or character development. There was never any down time. This was troublesome. By my estimation, the first two books take place over a span of two or less weeks. That not enough time to love anyone, let alone pledge your life to them and their cause. Let alone rip out your own heart for them. Literally.3. Editing. There were more than a handful of jarring but simple errors that could have been cleaned up with a quick last once over.None of these issues is enough to keep me from finishing this series. This is a great fun scary easy read. It could use some work, some fleshing out, yes, but its wearing pretty shoes and it can strut.
review 2: After reading Vampire Miami, I couldn't wait to delve into its sequel. Although I was pleased with the continued plot in Vampire L.A., I could not give this book 5 stars because it was riddled with spelling and grammatical errors from start to finish. Having to stop and figure out what the text was supposed to say takes away from the flow of the story. I hope Vampire Redemption had a better editor/proofreader than Vampires Miami and L.A. less
