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.
