Review: Rabbit's Feet - Trista M. Borgwardt

I have to admit that this genre of book isn’t my typical reading material; however, Rabbit’s Feet by Trista M. Borgwardt had me hooked from the very beginning. In the opening chapter the reader will be introduced to the two of the main characters: Eric and Tempie; I found the characters likeable and the relationship between them was believable.

Sarah and Tom, the best friends of Eric and Tempie also play a major role in the early this book and I enjoyed the interactions between the two couples as they reminded me of my teenage/ pre- college days.

In many ways, Tempie’s life seems perfect, but then as the book develops, it becomes increasingly complex. First there are the dreams and the nightmares, and then the news that her friend Andaya has been attacked. Next comes the news that Tempie’s Mom has been involved in a serious accident and her life is hanging by a thread; Tempie soon becomes aware of other strange occurrences in her day-to-day life.

Following the tragic news, Tempie leaves behind her idyllic life in Hawaii and moves to South Dakota to live with her grandmother. In South Dakota, Tempie finds her life taking a sinister turn, and it soon becomes a battle for life or death.

From the dialogue, I got the distinct impression that the book was aimed at older teenagers/young adults. However, I found the book engrossing and easy to read, and I have to admit to being quite a bit older than the book’s target market.

Trista M. Borgwardt has managed to create an intriguing, compelling vampire story, which will keep the reader gripped right to the end, while every twist and turn is guaranteed to entice the reader to want to know more. 

Vampires, good pacing, action, and a love story; this book has got the lot. Rabbit’s Feet makes an excellent read no matter your age and it’s perfect for some early evening or Sunday afternoon escapism.

Rabbit's Feet is part of a series, so look out for the next book when it becomes available.

Rabbit's Feet is available in Kindle format:

Rabbit's Feet - Trista Borgwardt

Rabbit's Feet is the new book by Trsita Borgwardt. The book is one of a set called The Tempie Rosenthal Series.

I am about to read the book, and I will post a review on my blog once I do, but in the meanwhile, here's brief synopsis: Tempie is an exceptional high school student with an amazing boyfriend and best friend; a life everyone dreams of having. Living carefree among the sands of Hawaii, she has a compassionate side to rival any other. After a gruesome personal loss, she flees to South Dakota in search of a safe haven.

However, Tempie’s new home is not as she expected. As she settles in, she is intrigued by an alluring stranger and terrorized by a dark and vile fiend. She must fight an emotional internal battle while fighting outwardly with a tenacious enemy.


If the synopsis has already whet your appetite, and you can't wait for my review, then y
