The Hunt (Laws Of The Blood #1)
LAWS OF THE BLOOD
In Los Angeles, the Enforcer Selim has been called upon to approve a hunt. Much time has passed since the vampires of the city have last tasted fresh blood, and they are clamoring for the kill. It’s Selim’s job to keep them under control – and there are those who resent his authority.
He must not waver or show weakness when he gives the Law – his life and the life of his mortal love, Siri, depend on his strength. But a whispered rumor is distracting him, a rumor of betrayal, of a violation of the most sacred of the Laws: Never reveal the truth about your own kind…
THE HUNT
'The Hunt' is a tremendously odd vampire horror book. Most vampire books have hooks into some type of human hunger: power, vengeance, authority, sex, anger, with the greatest hook of all being complete freedom from almost all human cares and worries. Vampires usually are above all human fears. They don't worry about money, houses, jobs, status, rules. They kill for all of that, if they want it. Not this one. This book is kind of a gangland ghetto story. The vampires are very unappealing on
In 1999 Susan Sizemore started a series of books about vampires. It became on of my favorite series although I haven't enjoyed her other vampire books as well. I've started rereading the series and I'm truly enjoying it.There were only 5 books. I don't know why. There is a more or less acceptable series ending in the last book, but I would have liked to have seen more books in that universe. Each book has a different couple as focus, but the story that starts in this book, which is book 1,
Dnf. In the twenty pages I read we get introduced to like 15 different people yet no explanation of who any of them are. No explanation of the world and I shouldn't have to read a glossary before starting a book. The writing was also awfully lofty for the genre and was filled with inane details. I didn't feel like wasting the rest of my day in the hopes it might get better.
First, the story was not what I thought it was going to be, then I had such a hard time following along. Rules and some of the terminology were confusing. I just pushed through and, in the end, I got the gist of it but I have no interest in moving on in the series.
Complex, action-packed vampire novel, first in a series. Interesting world-building, but unclear in explanation. Not the best series out there, but a step or two above the "vampire romance" type books. Characters are pretty solidly written with decent dialogue - it's the major plotting that I had trouble with.
The conversations were somewhat confusing as to whos speaking. In fact I felt like I wasnt getting all the info I needed to understand what was going on. Theres too many unexplained vampire rules thrown into the mix.There are two storylines going on, but nether stood out over the other. In fact, they were so weirdly blended that it was hard to tell which one was going on at the time. Which made it very confusing.A third of the way through I found myself growing less confused and more bored,
