Angela Louise McGurk (The Vampire Alliance #1) Absolution

[Eva Millien]

Blurb:

(Off Goodreads)

"Every so often a vampire story comes along that changes the entire genre..." - Taken from a reader review.

Absolution is a new story of heartbreak, betrayal, seduction and re-finding love.

Eve Blakethorn can barely remember what it was like to be unaware of the vampire world around her. Many years have passed since she met the stranger, the man who saved her life, gave her the world and promised her immortality. Unfortunately for Eve someone in power had not wanted her to have the world. Within days of her marriage her life is shattered. Everyone Eve cares for, vampire and human, is taken from her and she is left alone to fend for herself in a world she neither understands nor fits into. How can she hope to survive her dark and lonely existence while still plagued by the horrors she witnessed when her husband died? How can she avoid becoming prey to the monster who stalks her footsteps, the devil she has long suspected to be the one who brought about her husband’s downfall? 

Desperation drives her every move, leading her into the darkness where monsters wait. Can Eve discover the truth about how her world came to crumble and who was really responsible? Is there another stranger out there capable of bringing her some sense of peace? And just what is the vampire government, The Senate, hiding in the dark tunnels under the city?

My Review:

The first book in the Vampire Alliance series takes readers on an emotional journey full of suspense, betrayals and discoveries.  I will admit that at first I wasn’t sure what whether I was going to like this book or not. In the first half of the book , the chapters flip flop from Eve’ story to the history of how three friends became vampires and it was a little annoying, but the second half of the book made up for it and it became clear why the author gave us that information. I will certainly have to read the next book in the series to find out just what The Senate was doing and what Eve is going to do about it.
