The Slayer is a standalone novel featuring vampires and revenge. I have read quite a few of this author’s books and this is the first one that didn’t work for me.
Kye is not a vampire but he’s not human either. Tali is a human on a mission. One problem, two different angles. Both of them are aided by different characters, but a lot is left unsaid and unexplained.
The trouble I had with this book is I didn’t connect with either Kye or Tali. Instead of being immersed into the storyline, where I feel like I’m there, and care about the characters and situations, I was most definitely outside the book, reading in. I felt no connection to either of the main characters, indeed, none of the characters. I also didn’t really care if Kye and Tali got together, which is sort of one of the main points of the book.
I feel this is a marmite book – some will love it, others, not. Unfortunately for me, I fell into the second category on this one. It was an okay read that I finished. The writing is good, the story – good, but I just didn’t feel anything. Saying that, I would still recommend this book as I know this author has written some amazing stories, and this just wasn’t one for me, but someone else might love it.

A well written story that i was not putting down until I was finished. I enjoyed seeing Kye and Tali's story come together. I received a copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

The excerpt says it all. I really enjoyed this book. One of the authors I got hooked on and read every chance I get.

Well, I loved the last last half of the book, especially the ending. All the names ending in 'i' confused the hell out of me. This is not the best Stephanie Burke book I've read.
