ReVamped

First, I want to thank the author, Ada Adams, and also Marian R., for an e-copy of the book…

Cover:

The cover is gorgeous!!! I really like her necklace!!! Where can I get one?

Story:

The first chapters of the story will give you the impression of a fast-paced novel… They also gave me the impression that Dawn is a kickass character who will do anything she wants, and that she is a VIP (considering that she’s the daughter of the president of the vamps)…

I also noticed that some of the events from the past will also happen in the present (like the revenge)… But the difference is that the events in the present are somewhat more brutal than the past… Though let’s just say that the brutality of one of the events is justifiable…

Oh, and let’s not forget the scene where Dawn’s father left a message… It was quite sad…

Overall, if you are planning to read this one, just expect the unexpected because this book took the cake in the twists… Let’s just say that it will shift its genre (from PR to Dys.; at least for me it’s like that)… I tell you that I really did not expect the revelation of Dawn’s true identity…

Happy Reading!!! Thank you!!!

A simple mission turned deadly.
Nineteen-year-old vampire Dawn has led a sheltered life within the confines of her father’s presidential headquarters. Upon being sent on a mission to revamp four goofy misfits into guardians of a peaceful little town of Angel Creek, Dawn believes that all her dreams have finally come true. What starts off as a simple task, turns into something unexpected, changing Dawn’s life forever and leading the action-loving, thrill-seeking vampire teen on a path of mystery, danger and intrigue.


I received ReVamped for review from Ada Adams. Although I read ReVamped in one sitting, I must admit that I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would have. The actual plot was great but it just needed developing a bit more. It felt like big chunks of the story were missing, as at one point whole weeks of training were skipped in a sentence or two, which for me took some of the enjoyment out of reading ReVamped. I would have liked to have learnt more about the characters as they progressed within the story, but unfortunately the times between the main events were just glossed over. I really like the cover of ReVamped, to be honest it was the first thing that drew me to it, because of the lovely purples in the cover image and the swirly, arty font.

MY REVIEW

First of I really like the colour of the cover, but then purple is my favourite colour.
Now the book, I did enjoy the book, the plot is quite original with "Made Vampires" and "Born Vampires" This book also has the different element of clones and of Vampires being guardians of the humans that live around them. I liked the character of Dawn, and her complicated relationship with her father. The four vampires she is sent to train to take over from the previous guardians are also good characters but I felt I would have linked to have known a little more about them, perhaps that will happen in following books. I did feel that some parts of the book were sort of glanced over, for example the training could have been told in a little more detail. Then the action scenes were really good and well described in detail. I definitely finished the book wanting to know more, so I hope that there is more to come. I liked the whole love triangle thing going on between Dawn, Sebastian and Ethan. I suppose you could say that this book set the scene and was the back story of more to come.
I was a little disappointed that more was not made of the fact that Dawn has violet eyes. I wanted to know why she had violet eyes when Aurora had green eyes. (you will learn who Aurora is when you read the book) The book is quite complex in places, but things are explained to you as you go along so I would say this was a fairly easy book to read. To be honest I literally read it in one sitting!
So on the whole I enjoyed the book but wanted a little more of it. I want to know more about the new guardians of Angel Creek. This book was like a taster of what's to come, a prequel maybe? I'd like the next book to be a bit longer too please.
So did I enjoy the book? Yes Would I read more if this is a series? Yes, I want to know more Would I read more by Ada Adams? Yes I liked her ideas and the concept of the book. Would I recommend it? Yes, it was a great quick read!
