Turning Night

by Nico Murray

Sascha may be a soulless vampire, but don't hold that against him. He just tries to "live" and let live (where possible), treating humans as something more than dinner. For his entire afterlife, Sacha has tried to live as a mortal would, while running from those who cursed him with immortality. Surrounded by human friends and lovers, he hides, working a human job, saving human lives and easing human suffering wherever possible. He's tired of running from his own kind in order to keep him human friends from harm, he arranges a confrontation with his pursuers. The game is on.

About the author

I play with torches and hammers, gems and metal by day, and vampires by night.

Excessively fond of big boots, eyeliner, vodka and cupcakes. I can always be bribed with cake.

[Erin Penn · Rating 1 out of 5]

I read the first five chapters then the last two to see if it got better, it didn't. This book seriously is in the need of a good editing, specifically line editing - repeated words (such as "again") within the same sentence, repeated phrases two or three times in the same paragraph, horrible transitions, nasty formatting, unclear dialogue, ... The list goes one. The story itself has merit, but the manuscript needed at least two more rounds of editing and the publisher is at fault for releasing this book before they had done their job of content editing, line editing, proofing, and format editing. I feel sorry for the author; she did her part on producing over three hundred pages, which is no easy task. Just wished someone had taken time to shape and shine her gem before wiring into a display. I bought the 2012 paperback version.
