Summary:
A reluctant
vampire hunter, stalking New York City as only a scorned bride can.
Elle Dupree has her life all figured out: first a wedding, then her Ph.D., then swank faculty parties where she’ll serve wine and cheese and introduce people to her husband the lawyer.
Elle Dupree has her life all figured out: first a wedding, then her Ph.D., then swank faculty parties where she’ll serve wine and cheese and introduce people to her husband the lawyer.
But those plans disintegrate
when she walks in on a vampire sucking the blood from her fiancé, Greg.
Horrified, she screams and runs—not away from the vampire, but toward it,
brandishing a wooden letter opener.
As she slams the improvised
stake into the vampire’s heart, a team of black-clad men bursts into the
apartment. Turning to face them, Elle realizes Greg’s body is gone—and her
perfect life falls apart
Review:
I have
received this book as part of a blog tour in exchange of an honest review.
I ended up
really enjoying this book and the characters and I can’t wait to see what the
author will do next.
This book
has more of a classical take on vampires. They are the bad guys in this story –
they bite humans for blood and they can’t go out in the daylight – and, after
so many new takes vampires, I enjoyed this.
My favorite
part of this book was probably Elle. She’s a wonderful heroine an I loved how
strong, determined and smart she was. Her life changes completely one day but
instead of breaking down she gathers her strength and fights back.
All in all,
Legally Undead is a very interesting and well-written book with a kickass main
character that was able to keep me interested in her story right from the
start.
I can’t wait
for the next book in the series.
