I recently picked up Feeder (Chronicles of the Soul Eaters Book 1) from Amazon. If you're a fan of vampire novels, I think you'll like this one.
From Amazon: There really are things out there going bump in the night. Maria Christine lives life at the fringes of society as one of the Were, a race of beings from which legends have been born.
Vampyre, Were, succubus, feeder - her dark existence stealing life from strangers on the fringes of society will soon change.
When forced to abandon the only life she knows, Maria finds herself endangered by Were from all sides and learns a tough lesson - she isn’t the scariest thing out there.
HUNTED
•By other Were to strengthen their Covens
•By those with great power to further their own agendas
•By those who would wipe the scourge of her race and her own special kind of evil from the earth
•By the Hunter who must kill her to fulfill his destiny, but wants to protect her instead
Can she choose between death or life on her own terms or will that choice be made for her? The only constant is her ever present hunger, driving her to feed.
My Review: (4 stars) Lucinda Moebius is a new-to-me author, and I'm glad I picked up her book.
Feeder is a new take on a vampire novel, where Were creatures feed on human energy. I like how Moebius incorporated the myth and lore of the creatures we're all familiar with while adding her own twist. The book almost begs the question: Who is the villain?
Main character Maria Christine is a Were, so technically she's the "bad person" we're not supposed to care for. But the story is told through her eyes, and the occasional flashes of humanity she shows make you realize she's not bad. She's just who she is and is trying to survive in this world.
Feeder is a well-paced, engaging read with characters that capture your interest and hold it until the end. The tension is ramped up nicely, leaving you wanting more. I look forward to the next part of the story.
