Elizabeth Loraine

I received this book in exchange for an honest review. I don't usually go for vampire books but this one is awesome and I am so glad I read it. Unlike most vampire books I have read this one gives a great background and character development and an excellent story line. It kept my attention all the way to the end. I couldn't wait to turn the page and see what next adventure awaited Kat and her group of family and friends. I can't wait to see what is next in their journey and the rest of the series.… (more)

Katrina: The Beginning was in my opinion a good read. Not great, but fairly good. The plot was better than the actual writing. I found a few spelling/grammar errors that were a little disconcerting. The plot however was very good.

A not quite 18 year old vampire named Katrina Von Dracek is learning about herself, her gifts, her family. Woven within the story are some interesting plot twists. Likeable characters and of course, the ever unlikeable characters, though we don't really see them as much.

While I enjoyed reading Katrina, I found myself a bit upset with the author Elizabeth Loraine for a few things. She brings up something in the mind of Katrina, that to me is very important, integral to the plot, and then does nothing with it. Near the end, she has a chance to really show out some sword play, fighting, etc...and just...doesn't. The ending was abrupt. So abrupt that I went back to reread the last chapter to see how I missed that it was about to end. So abrupt that I admit to getting a bit peeved.

I still would like to read the second book, if only to see how the author concludes the next book. Let's hope that it isn't so abruptly ending as this one.… (more)
