The Vampire Stalker ReviewI simply loved the concept of this book, I mean, who wouldn't? I believe any avid reader can relate to the adoration of a fictional character (Edward and Jacob anyone?). So the notion that such a character could leap right off the page and into one's living room is quite tantalizing, to say the least. It's a phenomenal premise and a book I have been desperate to sink my teeth into - cheesy pun totally intended. So when the ARC gods saw fit to bestow upon me a copy, well, I did a happy dance.
It was short lived.
My first observation: pacing problems and transitional bumps. This novel is a little like being on one of those rickety old wooden roller coasters - it looks like so much fun while you're on the ground but once you're actually on the thing, you're trying desperately to keep your lunch down. There were times in which the transitions were so jarring, I actually had to go back to make certain I hadn't missed a sentence or five. And if that weren't a big enough distraction, I felt as though I was flying through the scenes at whiplash speed. The combination made me question what I was actually reading, something that has truly never happened to me before.
Events in this book happened at precisely the moment I had expected and in the exact manner in which I anticipated them. No surprises. Another annoyance was the author's use of a peripheral character, Ms. P., which totally undermined and rendered useless our protagonist. Huh? Once the Quantum Physics librarian jumped in to save the day, Amy was only useful only as a love interest... and I must say, I found that aspect of the book a little unbelievable.
There were some other niggling issues. The ease with which the Chicago police publicly embraced the idea of a real vampire stalking the streets, was more than a little farfetched. As was their seeking a consultation from a sixteen years old, Amy. Amy, as a character, wasn't all that interesting. Actually, neither were her friends... which may have been why they were friends? Truly, the only character who held my interest for any length of time, was Alexander and he wasn't as fleshed out as I would have liked.
In short, this is a quick read and one I find more suitable for the middle grade audience than high school. The language is clean and the violence is minimal. This would probably be an excellent book for a young, reluctant reader but certainly not for the more experienced reader.The Vampire Stalker Overview
