This book is simply incredible!
I have read A LOT of vampire novels in my time. Good ones, bad ones, indifferent ones. Often, no matter how good a book is, there's something missing.
Originality.
Alpha, however, is stunningly original. Part vampire thriller, part dystopian adventure, the end result is total awesomeness.
The characters are vivid, believable, and will win you over quickly. The world is richly drawn without becoming self indulgent, and the way that the characters interact with the world is completely realistic.
I'll continue with this series, and HIGHLY recommend it to fans of vampire stories, dystopian literature, and vivid horror.
