A solid prequel vampire story. Lane does a great job laying down the foundation for her series.

Magic. A land, Ossiria, that exists in an alternate dimension but impacts our own. Paladins, demons, witches, shifters and vampires. I’m so there. Also, superb addiction - as evidenced by my massive binge read through the prequel and first three books of Vivian Lane’s The First Vampires, namely Outcast, Protector & Goddess (Children of Ossiria, Book 0.5. 1, 2 & 3). I love the characters here, from Mike and his daughter Hope in book 1 (plus Hope’s former baby-mom Bathany, new interest Corinne, and future baby mom Catherine: its exhausting just listing then but it all works in the book), to Carys the Protecter in training and William the cursed vampire (who we met previously) and other great supporting characters (hello, Sarah). Really fun stuff. All extremely well done. Frankly, but for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed, and the fact that the publisher’s blurbs on these books are excellent, I could go on and on with praises. Each of these books definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that each book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend. I’m definitely looking forward to the next books in this series.

This was a good read and I enjoyed it. I would not mind reading more in this line.

This is the first book I've read from this author and I enjoyed it. Fast paced prequel, strong story line and characters. Looking forward to reading more of this series.

I was expecting more
I thought this was an actual book, it is not. I would call it more of a very brief short story that leave much to be answered. While I understand the work is a prequel, it really leaves the reader with too many unanswered questions about the many story lines offered up but not clarified. It jumps around way too much to really be of any use to a potential reader of the series unless they had started to read the series first and sought clarification on how vampires actually came to earth, not how the first vampires were created. Maybe this is a storyline in the series, I do not know as this was my first small taste of the author's vision. Ms. Lane is very easy to read, the prose flows freely and you are finished before you've barely begun. It serves its purpose in making you want to read the other books in her series.

This is a very short introduction to a new series. It tells of the creation of the first vampire and her newly made vampire going through the portal that put them on earth and started making male vampires to destroy earth.

Short, but captivating
What a unique take on the origins of vampires on Earth. Short and quite entertaining. Definitely interested in how the rest of the stories proceed from there.
