Review of Vampire Manifesto by Rashaad Bell

Overview by B&N

The hardest thing most kids my age have to deal with is graduating high school. I wish my life was that tranquil. There is a price on my head for three point five million dollars and my every move is being shadowed by a collection of individuals calling themselves the Marauders. The only thing standing between them and me is a Vampire who takes offense to Immortals making power moves in his city without asking his permission first. Apparently I am destined to open one of the Boxes of Pandora and supernatural forces are converging on my position to either use me, because they want the contents for themselves or kill me, so the Box stays sealed forever. Vampires. Mutants. Werewolves. This is my life now. My name is Madison Amber Rose and this is the story of how I died.

Review by the Bookworm

Characters are well developed, the book was a breath of fresh air.....until page 438. Things there started to get hairy.  And I don't mean the werewolves.  I mean the whole stinking book.  It went so far off track with subtle cracks to Twilight, puppy killing, cursing, I just stopped reading.  The whole Time Thread thing was confusing.

My honest opinion. The writer is a genius that obviously thinks far beyond what my brain can comprehend, and looses touch with what his readers are willing to accept.

Don't even bother with Vampire Manifesto.  It's a literal drag.

Loves!
