Explanation During Books Blood and Light (Blood and Light Vampire #1)
Where to start? I loved the story. Or maybe it was just Josh, but mostly it was the story, and Rue (the character).The story starts with Rue acting like a normal book worm anti-social teenager. (Hello, Lori Parker 11 12yrs ago). <--- Don't do the math. I beg you, do not do the math!!!
Of course, she can like"flick" static electricty off of herself. Oh and her parents are never around, for various reasons, and her brother is a shitty cook. Ok, so her mom is in the mental hospital. That's a pretty legit reason for not being around. Her dad is working in the first few pages? I don't know. He's not home. Then he kinda gets sucked into...well I am getting ahead of myself. You don't need or want me to retell the story, do you?
Do you see where I am going here? This book was full of so many laugh out loud moments, filled to the brim with sarcasm and wit, and dark humor. I can't keep the sarcasm out of my review. It was like feeding into my sarcastic, dark humored soul. It was tasty.
The characters were all great and had their own, very 3D personalities. I was very much in love with a lot of them. But just Josh. Mainly.
The author built a funky and trippy new vampire world. It got confusing in parts but by the end I think I understood "the rules" for these vamps.
Some people don't like love triangles. I don't mind them. But I ALWAYS pick the guy the heroine doesn't choose. I hope for once I get it right. (TEAM JOSH not Johnathan).
I just can't express how amazing this book was!!!
However, in light of this being an honest review I will point out the things that tended to pull me out of the story. There were some major editing issues with the copy I had. Typos and awkward sentences abound. Sometimes the POV or tense would shift without warning. It got confusing at times. Obviously, the story was amazing enough for me to overlook these things (and I NEVER take off stars for editing issues).
The book was long. Like really long. Like this could be two books long. There is a certain point, right around the halfway mark that would have made a perfect ending to book 1.
Johnathan. I don't know why, but I cannot stand him. I'm sure he's great in an "evil, rapey" way but he does nothing for me. I spent a good portion of the book wishing he would just go away already. LOL. No this really isn't a sign of a bad book. It's the sign of an amazing story that was good enough to evoke this strong of a reaction from me!!!
Will I be reading book 2 and reviewing it here for all of you. Hell yes!
*Note this book is not a YA book. It falls into the New Adult category. There is strong language and lots of sexual situations.
Speaking of typos, can we count all the ones I made in this post. *facepalm* now you see why I don't take off anything for typos.

Was the Authors ....... key broken because I found it hard to read this book with the sentences randomly broken by a string of ...'s. And really why did she type with caps lock on when the characters were yelling, this made me want to stop reading and delete the book from my kindle.Didn't hate it; it just wasn't for me I guess. I was unable to find the interest to ever finish the book (which I bought based on the recommendations).
This book begins with a slightly older Rue in a Mental Hospital. She has no memories and you journey with her through her time there while she tries to remember her past. There's many twists and turns. She leads you on many a path that will bring you back to where she began.You also visit with many of the other characters from her first two books, their stories all interlock together into a magnificent story.Rue Volley creates another book to her Blood & Light Series that leaves you wanting
Rue is a 17yo girl, but she's not any normal girl, she has a shock coming to her.KAI - Rues Brother drags her to a party, because she never gets out, she lives in her own little world But things are about to change. at the party she meets a young man called Johnathan, and the two hit it off straight away. while this is going on Rues mum is in a hospital not spoken for years but one night she speaks and say Rues in trouble. Right back to Rue, Rue and Johnathan are getting down and dirty lol, and

First off. I do believe I have an old copy. Some editing etc in my copy is needed. This has since been rectified and I am happy to report that editing etc is not a problem in this new copy.That being said....The start of Rue's story gripped me.The author did an amazing job in describing the loss a girl feels as she loses a parent.I loved this part.This is not a typical book and for that I am glad, a bit too sexy for me though. I know, I know, I am the only one in the world that would say this
