I'm struggling with
this one. I bought it on a whim because of an advert of Facebook that said it
was "Twilight Meets Outlander". So I thought it sounded really good.
And it was an OK read. However, it isn't even in the same league is Twilight or
Outlander and is seriously nothing like them at all.
The story focuses on
Ari. Her mums lapses into a coma and in order to save her mum she basically
sells her souls to the Princes of Hell for all eternity and must choose one of
the princes to marry and become Queen of Hell.
Now the start of
this book started out great. I got the sample and was really exciting to read
the rest so I bought it. Sadly, after the first few chapters things just didn't
go well. I ended up finding Ari to be such an annoying characters. I wanted to slap
her silly. She is going through so much crap and yet it doesn't even seem to
bother her at all which is rather strange. Most of the characters are just as
annoying. With the exception of Fen and E! Fen and his trusty wolf, Baron.
Lordy. I would sell my soul to be with him!! He is strong and scary. He is
loyal and I wouldn't want to get on his bad side. Baron the wolf. Awwww I want
one. He hates everyone apart from Fen until Ari arrives and the wolf just loves
her (God knows why though). And the there was E. I just loved her. She was full
of sass and I was disappointed she wasn't in the story more.
The plot itself is
intriguing and at the beginning it does draws you in. I think it does have
potential to be a good YA fantasy series. However, the story telling is so
choppy that it was confusing! I found myself having to go back and forth
reading certain passages because it seemed to me like it all over the place. It
just didn't flow right. I want my story to flow almost like magical. I want to
be engrossed by the story that I forget everything around. And unfortunately
Vampire Girl just doesn't have that draw for me.
And let's not get
started on the title and cover! I know they say don't judge a book by its
cover. But it just not original at all. I want be wowed by a cover and this
just doesn't do it for me. The title is just so boring. It could have been
something so much better
I feel like I'm just
telling you everything I didn't like and while I wasn't really a big fan as it
does come across to be a bit immature for me. I will say that is concept is
interesting. Demons/vampires not original but the author throws in their own twist
on it. I love the Hell aspect of story. I wanted to spend more time in the
realms. Hopefully we get to explore those in future books. For me the start of
book and the end of book are the best bits. The start draws you in. And it is
very quick read even if it's a choppy. The middle was a bit of bore feast I'm
not going to lie but it picks up near the end and we get some kickass action. I
will read the next one because it ends on a cliffhanger and I want to see if
the story gets any better.
Do I recommend
Vampire Girl? I wouldn't say "go rush out and buy it" but as this is
the first book in a new series that has the potential to be a good series I
would say pick it up and give it a try. My opinion is just one of many and
there are so many people who adore this book. It just sadly wasn't a favourite
for me personally.
