Review: Freak by E.K. Henry
Being a lower-class human born into a world where vampires rule sucks. No matter how hard Juniper Rayne tries to fit in, she's labeled a freak. When her dad signs the family up to take part in a reality television show, Juniper hopes that it'll give her the edge she needs to shed her freak label. Unfortunately for Juniper, vampires aren't that accepting. She decides to take control of her life and become a vampire hunter, instead of continuing to live in her own personal hell any longer. She will regain control or die trying.
I received this book for review from the author E.K. Henry and I enjoyed it. It is a little slow and doesn't really start to pick up until half way through the book, that's when everything starts to fall into place and get set into motion. I really like the characters! I love that the main character isn't some whiny female character unable to protect herself. Juniper has some real spunk and attitude! She may not always win but at least she fights back. I also loved the story line I found it to be pretty unique though there were some parts that reminded me of The Vampire Diaries. So, if you like VD *like me :)....#Team Stefan* then you'll love this book for sure :) Overall, I found this to be a pretty good read and I am eagerly waiting for book two!!

Not a big Vampire Diaries fan myself, but it's always nice to see that someone else enjoyed a book! Hope you like its sequel as well!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, this is my 1st visit to your blog and I just wanted to tell you how cute your pirate theme is! Adorable!
