Pretty When She Dies: A Vampire Novel Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I will say, while this book had it's issues for me, it kept my attention.
The story was unique and in a genre like this, that alone says something. The Texan landscape and colorful scruffy cast helps this book stand out from the herd. I enjoyed the character's and their relationships overall.
My main problem with the book was, as another reviewer commented, it could have used a good editor to clean it up. Aspects felt, for lack of a better word, amateur. Word repetition (battered for example) cropped multiple times in a single page, and there were enough grammatical errors and typos to distract. The font size changed periodically as well which was odd.
Little things like that can make it hard for me to maintain my focus within a story, but I found Frater's story and characters engaging enough to forgive some of the clumsiness. I think she has a lot of potential, and as another reviewer pointed out: it's nice to see vampires being bad, they have been thoroughly de-fanged recently. Also the book was nice looking for a self published, and I like the cover art quite a bit.
I found the bloodletting sex scenes surprisingly well done as well, and the sexual tension between the two leads is fun and believable.
All in all, if you love vamp fiction and want to go a little toward the fringes than this could be a good fit.
