Fresh Fiction Review

Acquainted with the Night

Paranormal Romance | Thriller Paranormal - Supernatural

Caroline learns that her uncle has been killed in a horrible fashion, turning her average lifestyle upside down. When she goes to recover the remains, she meets Jude, a vampire hunter. Jude suggests something that Caroline at first dismisses, that her uncle may have been murdered by a vampire. What does Caroline truly believe? Are there huge warning signs ahead of what is to come? Caroline is a likable character. The reader will get to know her and like her. She is a little bit dependent on the "hero" of the novel, which can be annoying, rather than standing on her own two feet. However, she still makes for a good character. The hero, Jude, will entice the reader to continue reading. His strong perseverance and belief in the paranormal world makes for an interesting read. Their romance slowly develops over the course of the book, a nice touch to a paranormal story. The mythology behind ACQUAINTED WITH THE NIGHT is intriguing. The reader will love attempting to rationalize the mythology with the book. Truthfully, the romance and mystery is interesting, but it is Piper Maitland's take on vampires that will pull the reader into the story. The reader will have to really take the time to think about the scientific background to vampires and the endless possibilities. Vampire fans look out for this one!

SUMMARY

A woman's quest for the truth...A medieval icon that holds the clues...And an ancient book with the power to shake Christianity-and humanity itself. London tour guide Caroline Clifford has never believe in vampires- until her uncle is brutally murdered at a Bulgarian archaeological site, and a vampire hunter who corresponded with him seeks her out. Strange anagrams on her uncle's passport lead them to a cliff-top monastery in Greece, where a shattering revelation connects a relic Caro inherited to an age-old text on immortality-and an enigmatic prophecy that pits the forces of darkness and light in a showdown that could destroy all they know...
