exchange for an honest review
Violet is in the wrong place at the
wrong time when she ends up in Trafalgar Square in the wee hours of the
morning. There she witnesses a mass murder and is swept away by the murderers.
This plunges her into a world that she knows nothing about but finds out her
father is very well aware of. Kasper, the prince and heir to his father’s
throne and the bad boy, doesn’t know why he whisks Violet away but now he must
live with the decision because if they kill her there will be a war between the
humans and vampires. Violet’s father is none other than the Secretary of State
of Defense and is looking for any chance to wage war against Kasper’s kind.
Violet’s character is feisty but yet
vulnerable. Her inner dialogue was interesting and a bit confusing at first but
there is a reason for it (I won’t give away why). The vampires in Gibb’s story
are really dark and at times a bit disturbed. In the beginning Violet connects
with a vampire named Fabian who comes off as caring and understanding to
Violet’s plight. What may you ask is her plight? Well, Violet must decide to
either become a vampire or die. She can’t be allowed back into the world with
what she knows about them now (think the reverse of Twilight). In a twist it is discovered that Violet is actually
something more and that her and Kasper’s future are really not so different.
I was not disappointed in Dinner with a
Vampire and I will read the next installment. This story doesn’t contain any
sparkly vampires. Be prepared to enter a very dark and troubled world.
