This was a $0.99 book from Amazon that I couldn't resist. I'm a vegan, but not a vampire, so just the title intrigued me.
Mallory Andrews, responsible and hard working, goes out for drinks with coworkers and wakes up very sick. A hangover? No, she's becoming a vampire. She doesn't know that until she finds a doctor who will see her quickly and who tells her she's a vampire. The doctor refers her to a group of people who will help her transition. There have been several other women similarly afflicted but who have died, really died.
One of Mallory's problems is that now that she's a vampire, she can't stomach blood, meat, or dairy, literally can't stomach them. She finds that she can keep vegan nutritional supplements down. As she experiments with what she can and cannot eat, she discovers that she's become that strange creature: a vegan vampire.
Alex, a charismatic wizard, helps her with the transition. He and some others also help her figure out which vampire bit her. They intend to mete out a suitable punishment: execution.
This was a fairly quick and quite unusual read. I liked the characters and the novelty of the plot. There are several more in the series, so, if you're looking for something different, have at it.
It sounds quite crazy, definitely different.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't your average mystery or your average vampire story!
DeleteA vegan vampire! Now there's a new spin!
ReplyDeleteI knew this one would catch your attention. It's certainly the most original premise I've seen in a long time. See, we vegans aren't so different from your ordinary vampires!
