review 1: Wow! What a great read. Vessel is entirely engaging. It was a mix of Dracula and Harry Potter stylistically with a massive dash of wit. Perhaps that needs just a little explaining...It begins by jumping between each of the main characters: Jordan, Ghi, Jackson, Khan, and Corin. Jesse is only seen through Jordan's eyes all along. Eventually everyone is seen through Jordans eyes, but it begins in much the same manner as Bram Stoker's Dracula albeit, no in diary form.The world that Adkins creates is flawless much the same way the world of Harry Potter makes perfect sense within its own story. Adkins blends the natural world everybody knows with the unnatural, perhaps supernatural, with ease and surprising clarity and believability. Everything within her world upholds ... morethe logic created for it. Events happen for a reason, not just for effect or some sort of hack mechanism to further the story. Well done to say the least.Vessel is full of flare and wit. Jordan's sarcasm is well honed and punctuated in just the right places to give the reader a good chuckle. Her disdain for her job as personal assistant/handler of Jesse Cannon is epic. I can't wait for the next installment.I dare anyone to read just the first page without getting hooked on Vessel... It is just that good and you're hooked immediately with her begining of the one armed bartender. Just wonderful.Thanks Jordan for that.
review 2: oh my, I'm 60 pages into this and I love it! But I need to read my library books first...bummerVessel, a book about 5 guys from all corners of the world who end up being gods and meeting up in New York. The story was funny, exciting, dramatic, and a little depressing all in one. All I can say is I do hope there is a second book to this because I would be severely disappointed if this ended the way it did, with everyone pissed off. less
