Christians. Vampires. Blood. Murder. Justice. Suspense.
I wasnt sure it could be done. Tracey Bateman proves it can. Ill be honest when I first picked up this book to read it, I had no idea that it contained vampires. The cover intrigued me and I thought I was sitting down to a good mystery.
Well, it was a good mystery, but it also contained vampires. Several of them, in fact.
The story follows a young woman, Lauryn McBride who is an auctioneer/realtor of old estates. She works full time in the family business and also juggles the care of her father who seems to be losing more and more of his memory every day.
When she uncovers some old letters, strange things start happening and before she even realizes whats happened shes sucked into a mystery so old and bizarre she can scarcely draw breath. Cross all of this with a cocky sheriff, a Bible believin missionary, a wacky blogger, and a sophisticated guest and youve got something that borders on paranormal all on its own.
The story bounces back and forth from first person to third person. I had no trouble following it, but I think it deserves a mention.
Im still on the fence with this book. Ms. Bateman does not in any way condone vampires and for that I like the book. However, in so many ways they are so unrealistic that I have a hard time buying into the hype that they have created the last several years.
Im going to give it 3 stars. It wasnt the worst story Ive ever read, the writing was good, but the content is so controversial. Perhaps I should give Ms. Bateman a big thumbs up for daring to write something as controversial as Christian Vampires. :)
