Star (Starland Vamp Series) (Vol. 1)

A vampire romance that isn't cheesy. Even guys will find this story riveting because this time the girl falls for the boy, lol!
With the shape shifter and CIA plots throughout this story I had a hard time putting this book down until finished. Two thumbs up from me.

Review by Geryn Childress

Abigail Starland otherwise known as Star is a shape-shifter vampire. Being a shape-shifter is very rare. Star works for the CIA, she is assigned to protect her boss' son, Zac. For Star and Zac it is love at first sight, but they have a lot of trials to get through before they can finally be happy.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book it kept me guessing. I love the characters, I especially love Rick the protective yet fun father figure. I highly recommend this book its not your ordinary vampire story.

At first I thought this book was going to be something along the same lines as the Twilight Saga but I was pleasantly proved wrong.

This book is soooo different and I couldn't put the book down. Star is a young Teenage Vampire who was turned after the Murder of her Father.

During the years Star ends up working for a secret department within the CIA. Star is called in for an assignement to protect the Chiefs Son Zac. Star and her Maker Rick head to Cooperstown for this assignment and Star is enrolled in school.

This isn't your typical Vampire/Love story. This book keeps you wanting more. Star and Zac fall madly in Love and end up having to fight side by side along with other friends of Star/Rick/Zac.

If you enjoy Vampire stories, Action, Romance, Love then this is definately the book to read. It will leave you wanting more. I can't wait till the next Chapter in Star and Zacs life.

Different style vampire story with enough twists and turns to keep you reading :) good job!

I love Vampires and Vampire stories! This was a different and interesting take on the repetitious genre of Vampires! I was addicted within the first pages and couldn’t put it down.

*SPOILER ALERT* 3 Stars ***

I have to say that this book suprised me in both good and bad ways. The bad are it has to many simularities to other vampire books such as there were way to many things that reminded me of Twilight like the no fangs her having venom and if she bites someone she has to turn them, that she doesnt need air to breath, that she lives off of animal blood and that she shimmers which is to close to sparkling like the vampires in Twilight does. I think using a book to write a book and using things in that book is not something you should do especially with it being a movie that is so big like Twilight but using it as a reference and to get ideas is alright. Honestly that is something that should never be done which of course is just my opinion. The good things is Star is very different but in a good way she is someone who never takes crap from anyone and if she doesnt like something she will tell you regardless if you like it or not and she is not someone you want to make mad because bein on her bad side is the wrong way to do even if she has sworn to protect the human species and even vampires should tread on water when around her. Even though there are alot of things I disliked about this book I did find that I was starting to enjoy this book it had action, romance and the book will keep you on your seat guessing about who you should and should not trust and you will find yourself worring about certain characters. I do recommend this book to all the vampire fanatics I think you will love this book but if you are a Twilight fan you may or may not like this book.
