My Twisted Drink: A Vampire Romance
In
a society where Vampires exist alongside humans without fear, Charlotte
is a human who has become renowned for her skill as an exceptional
“drink.” She works in a club, along side her best friend Charisse,
pleasing her customers, vampires from all walks of life. When Charisse
drags Charlotte to a local mansion for an interview to be a "personal
drink" to a local vampire, Charlotte gets the job, much to her own
chagrin. Charlotte then moves into Alexander's mansion and meets
Nathan, his servant, who is obviously more than he appears to be at
first glance. But what is he? Both Alexander, her new vampire boss, and
Nathan are hiding things from her. Nathan’s abilities are definitely
not human and Alexander’s old-fashioned ways keep Charlotte on her toes.
Charlotte meets more vampires and other people who exist in this
twilight world. Intrigue, love, power plays, suspense, fear and
seduction; all of these play out in various scenarios during Charlotte's
"relationship" with her new guardian and his servant...but where will
it lead to in the end? Only time will tell.
I give “My
Twisted Drink” 3 out of 5 stars. If the writing and editing had been
better, it would have gotten much higher marks. The story is engaging
and enjoyable. I like the world that Ms. Mayer has created. It is very
interesting and mysterious. She reveals a little at a time. There are
many creatures in it besides vampires and normal humans. However, the
book could use some heavy editing. For example, the author has one
character’s dialogue mixed in the same paragraph with another
character’s thoughts or actions. It can get very confusing at times.
Overall, if you can excuse the confusing dialogue, the book is a very
fun read and I recommend it.

Hmm, I wonder what Nathan is??
ReplyDeleteExcellent, Kristin! I am so pleased to see the gloves off and the weaknesses exposed. Reviewers do the readers a service by alerting us to the flaws as well as the shine. I reviewed a book that sported a mindbending plot with wooden characters. I told my readers to imagine 3D characters in the same plot, and enjoy the ride!
