Blood's Voice

Áine P Massie

The vampire, Anya, has to learn to navigate the world of love, life, and sanity while avoiding those that would see her destroyed or enslaved.

Anya Millar had no memory of her life or an instruction manual on how to navigate the insane world of humans, biting, and reality. Instead, Anya has had to learn to navigate the world of love, life, and sanity while avoiding those that would see her dead or enslaved.
.
This is the ongoing journey of Anya and Nicholas, human loving vampires and the human they love, Declán. What makes it all more complicated is that they are abominations in their own world and Declán is a natural born vampire hunter called a Guardian.
.
Anya must come to terms with who she is and her missing past, Nicholas must win back the object of his eternal love while dealing with new cravings in his silent heart, and Declán must learn to destroy the very creatures that he has unequivocally given his heart and blood.

I like what you've got here, I think it has real promise and I have star rated it on that basis. I think in particular that your voice and style fit the genre very well. If you're interested in tweaks, I think you could make more of the opening, perhaps a big opening vampire-esk scene, so the reader sees the inhuman side of the characters, then contrast this with the regular day at school.

Well done and best wishes,

Laura

Hi,
This has a good beginning. I like the idea here of a vampire wanting to be around humans and emulating their behaviour. Anya has a unique sureal kind of voice, she really seems to be new to the whole teen game.
An interesting set up that is sure to attract attention from the targetted audience.
I did notice some edits you might want to pick up. I'm happy to message them rather than leave them in the comments. Just let me know, otherwise an interesting concept and characters. Well done,
Cheers Jacoba

Hello Áine,

Reading through your book's pitch, this phrase, "missing past" made me ask myself a rhetoric that when we pass on to next life after dying, do we forget our earthly life just one forgets one's lives in one's mother's womb? I will read your book - may be there are such connotations accruing from the phrase, "missing past".

You really hit your mark here, especially with voicing. Personally I hated Twilight but read it to try to find out why it was popular. It was so horrific in cliches I was reduced to laughter many times. The challenge here then was for you to write something in this favored genre w/o being another "Twilight". I can see the female-eroticism of two males combating over the alpha female. That is common from Paris and Menaleus deuling over Helen at Troy. You've shifted the rules in that Helen(Bella)Anya is not a helpless waif. It has not been over-done. The story is geared toward the teen market, that means I'm expecting "half-baked". Understand, that's how High School Musical and Big Time Rush, etc. sound to me. Lol, I really identified with Farris Beuler and the Breakfast Club. Good lord, talk about stupid...Anyway, excellent, excellent. These must be hard to write without having them become to sappy!
