Are you ReVamped?

If it wasn't for my friend Luana this book would even fit on my list of to read...Revamped by Ada Adams. I just don't read vampires' books, not my style. But, then, I was hungry for reading and the cover looked pretty when my friend brought it to me.  I read a little the back cover plot, one name caught my eye and I said "Why not? If I don't like it I will just abandon it." 
Well, guess what? My first ever vampire book read cover to cover that kept me away from the computer in my spare time. I just couldn't let it out of my hands until I was done! Yes, it is that kind of book that keeps you excited all along to see what happens next.
What does this book have so special?
  1. It's a young adult, teenagers book. Or, you can read it any time if you feel the need for something simple and beautiful.
  2. It's about vampires...well, a twisted story about vampires that already enjoy and share the beauty and sour of our world. 
  3. It's an adventures book. You can imagine it as an action movie. Somehow it reminded me of police stories, if you ignore the vampires.
  4. It has an amazing combination of elements. I guess is what makes it unique. The author had the great imagination to combine different themes commercialized over the years and create a unique story. I'm pretty sure you will not find anywhere else the Blood Cola! 
  5.  This novel has everything: fiction and mystery, simple comedy, adventure, romance 
 Literally speaking the style is simple and clean, an easy read. It is not one of those books that will indulge you in philosophical ideas or you will try to decipher through the lines of metaphors the true sense of what the author had to say. The characters are all different and seen through the eyes of the heroine, a well painted character. It's a straight forward book, easy to predict in actions, but not in story. The storyline is unique. A young vampire on a mission and rediscovery of herself (sorry I like to keep the mystery - no picking into the storyline from my side). Faced paced and neat writing, an amazing combination of elements, good job Ada Adams.
Would I read the next book of the "predicted" series? In between heavy readings, why not?
So, just read it! It will get you!

ps. Forgot to say: the author has a plus for me - just because she is Canadian.
