Blood
Calling is aimed toward the YA audience, but that doesn't make it any
less entertaining for adults. This story takes a very different
stance on the overly-done vampire story.
This
story is told as if Lucy (the main character) is sitting across the
table from you—like an autobiography so-to-speak. There are many
that hate stories written this way, but I found it refreshing and
enjoyed it.
I
found Lucy to be a well-fleshed out character that I truly enjoyed
reading about. She has become somewhat of a pariah at her school
after a drunk driving accident. Her home life isn't much better
either. Her parents have divorced and they basically ignore her. As a
result of her drunk driving she is sentenced to serve community
service at a homeless shelter—where she meets her first
vampire...then she tries to kill him.
What
I really like about this story is how the vampires are portrayed with
a very different and unique twist. I don't want to ruin the story for
potential readers, but I will say this—these vampires are saviors
of the nearly dead.
Overall,
this was a very entertaining and unique story that I highly
recommend.
