The Review

I would love to start off as saying that Denis Verrico is defiantly the next author to watch. She places so much character and voice in everyone of her characters. She knows the right mix of action, humor and everything else that makes a good read.

Cara Mia was a gripping tale about Mia Disantini 's life as a vampire. Most of the story was told in first person, with Mia talking to another charater (Joe) and filling him in on what was going on before her "capture". It was done quite well. The characters were well developed, I wanted to know more and more about them with each turn of the page and Verrico delivered that. I loved the science involved in the story, it was a great approach to vampirism without being too science-y. You won't be like "whaaat?" when you read about it. It was a refreshing take on it and you didn't need to be a science geek to understand it.

The book was adventurous and exciting, a great read for any vampire fan. While the romance in the story was kind of lacking, it didn't matter! It was an amazing tale Verrico span and I can't wait to get my hands on the second book, Twilight of the Gods, coming Fall of this year.

While I highly recommend this book, the only problem I had with the book as a whole was the lack of editing and the gramatical errors I came across while reading it. I'm kind of a Grammar Nazi and I know a lot of readers that are as well, while this wasn't a problem that made me set the book down, it was kind of a nuisance at times just because it took me away from the story, which was an amazing story and defiantly deserves a good editor to read over it.
