ReVamped Angel Creek Book One Ada Adams 9781470068981 Books Reviews

When Ada requested some R&R (read and review) of her first novel, I did a little research before immediately going 'yay! books!,' because I am a grownup and capable of thinking before I act. Anyway, my brief research suggested that, although dealing with vampires, a subject even I am starting to get a bit skeptical of at this point, she might do something new and interesting with the topic. Additionally, ReVamped sounded like it might actually be funny, which was seriously encouraging. I am happy to report that my initial judgments were correct!

Actually, of all of the vampire novels I have read, ReVamped reminds me most of a mix of the Sookie Stackhouse series and The Reformed Vampire Support Group. The parts that reminded me of the former were largely in the organization of the vampires. They have a government, both local and national, although obviously not kings and queens here. In Adams' world as in Harris', the vampires have gone public. In both, this led to the production of non-human blood sources. Although, I definitely think that the vamps in ReVamped have a better deal, since they have tons of blood drinks to choose from, including Blood Vodka. Awesome.

As for the latter novel, which I didn't much like, the ragtag group of not very vampiric vampires was what brought it to mind. Of course, I didn't much like that book. Thankfully, ReVamped did that angle way better, because these characters did actually seem to grow and change through the novel. Plus, ReVamped was actually funny, and not just descriptions of feeding on guinea pigs.

Now, I do not want to imply that Adams is entirely derivative, because she's definitely not. She added her own unique bits of lore for the novel. For example, I am really fascinated by her distinctions between born and made vampires. In fact, I would love to have a discussion about the logistics of this. Mostly, I want to know how the born vampires first came into being, since they can only come from a born vampire. Of course, I can accept that, since it's really a chicken-or-the-egg argument.

Adams also did something pretty hilarious with the garlic part of the legend, although I'll leave that as a surprise. Another change from tradition to watch for are the werewolves. They made a definite impression. Additionally, I quite enjoyed Adams' writing style. I only wish that the book had had slightly better editing, as several errors got through to the version.

Dawn was a fantastic main character. She's so powerful; seriously, there are probably like two people in the world who could take her in a fight...if that. She doesn't need anyone's protection. However, Dawn is also quite naive. She's been sheltered for all 19 years of her life, which has the end result of making her act a little silly where boys are concerned. Even then, though, she doesn't do anything stupid, because she's a smart, cautious girl.

ReVamped was a great read, better than a lot of the vampire-centered books I've read. If you like strong heroines, humor and like to support debut authors, go get yourself a copy of this gorgeous new book. Seriously, check that cover!
The year is 2015 and vampires have co-existed with humans for the past three years. Dawn Fairchild is a nineteen-year-old vampire who has never left Scarlet House, her father's vampire presidential headquarters. She has spent her entire existence being educated and trained to be a smart, savvy.. and let's face it... badass fighter. She has always given all of herself and has succeeded in every task, but then again, she's never been out in the real world, so it's all come fairly easy for her... so far.

She finally receives a mission head to Angel Creek and train four new vamps to be the town guardians because their predecessors, The Fab Five, have ventured out to pursue other interests. Dawn is over the moon at the thought of breaking away from Scarlet House, even though the mission is meant to be a cake walk. She arrives in town, locates her recruits, but not before meeting Ethan, the town hunk/bartender at the local diner, and proceeds to assemble them for duty. Dawn quickly learns that the four vamps she is assigned are not at all what she expected. They range from a barbie-type, self-involved prom queen want-to-be to a teenage video game nerd. How will she train them to protect the town if she can't get them to put down the nail polish bottle or video game controller? Ugh.

Dawn doesn't give up that easily, though. She wrangles her crew, sends them to a remote location selected by her father, and gets ready for the task of a lifetime. Oh, did I forget to mention that Dawn is also made aware of another vampire in town, Sebastian, who she tries to recruit. He refuses her proposition without so much as batting an eyelash, and that really frustrates Dawn. Heck, the way Sebastian is described, everything about him would frustrate me... in a most forgivable way, if you know what I mean.

Unbeknownst to Dawn, this simple mission is about to dissect her entire life, and much of what is about to happen is no bueno. After weeks of training her newly recruited band of misfits, a local human woman is kidnapped by a group of rogue vampires, and so begins the unravelling of Dawn Fairchild's world.

I went into this book with the idea that it would be just like every other vampire story out there, and in the beginning I found a lot of similarities to True Blood - vampires living out in the open, drinking manufactured blood sources like Blood Cola, the chatty red-headed waitress, Hannah, and Ethan, the cute flannel wearing bartender at the local diner. Yes, really. I found myself rolling my eyes at the fame and fortune seekers of the vampire world and the vamp-inspired reality television show references. I was even a little disappointed by the four vampires that Dawn was supposed to train -- Brooke, a typical blonde cheerleader who's spent the last fifty years trying to become prom queen. Seth, the video game nerd that Brooke accidentally turned recently. Hunter, a junkie that was so trashed he could barely focus on Dawn's words. Sophie, a timid book nerd that works at the local library. How was Dawn expected to make something of these freaks? These vamps don't hold a candle to the legend of The Fab Five!

To my surprise, as the story began to unfold, I grew very fond of these characters that I had previously misjudged. Ada Adams is a true magician with words. The character arc for EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. is extremely well thought out and executed. Brooke, the want-to-be prom queen recruit that I desperately wanted to backhand in the beginning, became one of my favorite characters. There is much more to these folks than meets the eye, and that made me a very happy girl. The plot completely enveloped me and, after a certain point, I could not put the book down. It was SO EASY TO READ! Easier than many books I've read recently. I tuned everything else out, much to my husbands chagrin, and became lost in Angel Creek. By the end I could think of nothing other than jumping into the next book...
