Blood and Snow

review 1: I purchased this novelette/short story(not sure what to call it it's more like one book broken up into several) as a 4 pack from Amazon, so I think I will review them all in one on #4.I will say I enjoyed these books and would have rated them probably a 4 but I feel several of them should be combined into one book. These are really short yet they are not really novelettes as there's no "end" to any of them. It's like one story broken up into small segments which end rather abruptly. I do love the originality and idea of the story very much.
review 2: Since novellas 1-4 are bundled together I'm just going to re-cap all of them at once.I don't know why they were split up like that instead of one book, it was annoying as hell.Classic Snow White re-telling with vam... morepires.**Spoiler, re-cap below**Snow is an almost 16 year old student with a beloved father and a step-mother she doesn't like. Her best friends are Claire, a girl from school and the 7 adopted brothers who live next door to her (Bart, Sebastian, Daniel, Dorian, Gabriel, Heathcliff and Salvatore). She has a crush on Gabe. They take a trip to Boston to run an errand for the boy's adoptive father, Professor Pops, and meet Kenmei, a friend of Pop's. While at Kenmei's Snow falls asleep and dreams of a vampire biting her. When she wakes up she's stronger, can hear heartbeats, etc.She is told that she is really a changling (or a revenant), meaning she is part vampire and part human and the Vampire Queen has sent a Hunter after her to prepare her. The Queen needs a new body every 1,000 years and Snow is in the running.Kenmei and Pops were both Hunters but left the Hive (vampire culture is set up like bees) when they fell in love with their Chosens. Now they want to kill the Queen.There are hundreds of Chosens at a time, but most die in the selection process. In order for the Queen's magic to work, the revenant must drink the blood of their true love and then consume his heart (bleh, graphic).Snow keeps falling asleep and being brought into an alternate dimension where she sees "her" Hunter, but not his face. She has an overwhelming urge to not only drink his blood, but have him drink hers. She finally realizes her Hunter is actually the new guy at school, Chase Charming (oh yes, they did).Snow starts fight training with the boys (Pops has been training them since their adoption) and learning about all the magical creatures. Charming leaves her a necklace, but then disappears. Kenmei tells her it has great magic, it was created by the original vampire, Silandra, who also happens to have been the Queen's twin sister, whom she killed. Kenmei also tells her that she can restore peace and destroy the Queen, it's all up to her. Obviously she freaks the hell out and bolts, telling all of them to stay away from her.All of a sudden her best friend Cindy is a witch. Where did that come from. Eh, never mind.After weeks away she finally makes up with the guys and starts training with Gabe. They kiss and he offers her his blood (since Charming is still MIA) and she loses control. Pops stops her, but by the time he does it looks like Gabe is dead (I'm thinking he's not) and she freaks out and runs. less
