Vampire Manifesto

review 1: This was an interesting read. There is a lot of things going on in a short time. Start off from the beginning with Madison dieting but not because she comes back and her friend dies instead. Then she starts having these weird dreams of her hunting vampires - another reality? Her and her brother skip school for the beach and she meets this mysterious guy, Ethan. I got the vibes he was a vampire - never confirmed though b/c he isn't in the story much even though he is a love interest for Madison. Then they go to a party where she is attacked and someone tries to kidnap her. Connor comes in and saves her. From here it starts getting weird. This author guy, John Rogers is into alternative realities and multiples version of one self. You meet about a couple of diff J... moreohn Rogers too. There is some action with Connor and Madison trying to evade the translucent man. I know this review is kinda mixed up but that is kinda how the storyline felt. Going one way for a min then left turn to start and back again several times. This is syfy meets teen meets paranormal and they tried to have a kid.
review 2: This can't be a true review because I didn't finish the book.No, not didn't, refuse to. I've been intermittently trying to slog through this since February and at 41% I finally threw in the towel.Pluses:Honestly, none that I found, other than the prologue indicated potential that nothing I read up to 41% fulfilled.Minuses:EDIT. If you can't, please, for the sake of indie publishing in general, pay someone else to. Typos galore, many with an MS Word spell check (read lots of homophones) feel. Sadly, though, those were not the worst. Multiple egregious continuity errors involving character names and plot points.An overabundance of pop culture references that are already dated and the book has only been out about a year and a half.Run-on sentences. It got so bad I started marking them and stopped when I hit the low double digits because it just made me sad.=======================I like vampire stories; I've been a fan of vamp fiction since before Anne Rice's first vampire book.I like YA and have been reading it since I was the target market.Both things that make me pretty much the target audience for a book like this, but the bad writing and horrendous typos just killed it for me. If the author ever updates the e-book and corrects the awful formatting errors I'm willing to give it another shot. less
