Throwback Thursday September 20th 2012
It's the nature of book blogging to focus mainly on new releases, but there are thousands of great books out there that haven't seen the "New Releases" shelf in years. We hope to be able to bring attention to some older titles that may or not be at the top of the current bestseller list, but still deserve a spot in your To-Be-Read pile.
You don't have to be a book blogger to participate! You can put up a Throwback Thursday post on your non-bookish blog; or if you don't have a blog at all you can use the comments to tell us about a book your remember fondly.
I'm reading all paranormal books this week so I thought it was fitting to pick a vampire book for this weeks throwback. I read the first one about a year ago but before I could start the second one I had a huge TBR pile and just haven't found the time.
My Throwback for the week:
The Becoming
by Jeanne C. Stein
Paranormal Vampires
Published November 28th 2006
Goodreads & Amazon
Synopsis
My name is Anna Strong. I am a vampire. How I became one is the reason for this story. I tell it all the way it happened. It may not be what you expect.
She's a bounty hunter--tough, beautiful, and trained for the unexpected. Until the night she's attacked and left closer to death than she can imagine. She awakens to an indoctrination into a dark new world where vampires walk among us. But this time, a tight grip on a .38 won't stop what she's hunting for.
Existing between the worlds of the living and the dead, Anna is torn by her love for two very different men. Max, a DEA agent, all too human, and vulnerable. And Avery, a Night Watcher who's joined Anna in pursuit of the rogue vampire who changed her life that terrifying night. Now, as her two worlds collide, fate plunges Anna into the ultimate battle between good and evil where survival is not just for the living...
Review
Anna Strong isn't your typical vampire victim, in most books they aren't kick ass bounty hunters like her. She's working a case when she is attacked and turned into a vampire. She's wakes up in a world she didn't know existed determine to find the rogue vampire who turned her. Through the book she learns to accept that she's a vampire. It's a fast paced story filled with action, love and the ultimate battle. I had to stay up late reading this one because I was curious to see what would happen next. I really liked Anna Strong as a character she's unique from the books I've read with vampires and it was refreshing. It's the start to what I expect to be a great series. I can't wait to get my hands on the next one, now only to find the time for the rest of the series.
