Book Description:
Ellie Smith, an emotionally stunted dancer, finds more than she bargains for after her human life is taken by the vampire, Master Liam. Once inside the Vampire’s underground lair, the Keres Den, she meets Ian, an immortal Viking warrior, who is infiltrating the soulless prison.
As Ellie begins her training, she learns that the dark tunnels around her are filled with even darker secrets. As the truth of her existence come to light, she is faced with a choice—does she let her past dictate her future, or can she begins to feel again?
I have
to say that The Vampire’s Hope is not
your typical vampire story. It’s definitely not what I was expecting when I
first picked up the book. But despite that I thought the story was cute. I love
the Greek mythology aspect of it. The whole Pandora’s Box plotline and how
Elpis or Ellie was the Hope from the box was unique and well put together.
I
felt pretty bad for Ellie during the first part of this short story. She seemed
to have a pretty hard life. She was abandoned as a child and her teenage years
were troubled. In the very first chapter you can see what little hope or
emotion she has in general as she observes the couple kissing at the party.
I
was surprised that the Master Liam guy was a vampire, but the way the whole
thing went down was quick and to the point. I liked that. I also liked Ian. I
enjoyed his interactions with Ellie and how he sought her out and helped her
get a grasp on her emotions, which turned out to be there though they were
buried deep.
I
don’t want to give away the whole story, but the plan Ian comes up with and
includes Ellie in is awesome, though there’s a bit of a glitch. By the end of
the story Ellie has not only found her hope, but she’s discovered that hope isn’t
what the Greeks think it is, but something much, much better.
