LitPick Review
The book Blood Feud by Alyxandra Harvey is a mix of many things: mystery, adventure, and romance, but mostly fiction, since it is about vampires. In the book a girl named Isabeau is turned into a vampire after her parents are killed. During the French Revolution, Isabeau went and found her way to her uncle's house. He threw a party and that's when she met Greyhavan changes her into a vampire and leaves her buried for 200 years. She loathes him for doing so and is sure to seek revenge someday. After 200 years, she is found by the hounds, an exclusive vampire clan thought to be savage. Then she meets Logan, one of the seven Drake brothers, considered royalty, at their home caves for a negotiation meeting to unite their two tribes. Montmartre is an evil vampire who wants Logan's sister to marry him. He is partnered with Greyhavan. Isabeau and Logan locate him and his culprits in an attempt to catch them, but fail in their attempt. Isabeau finds out that her people are being attacked. She and Logan go to see if they are okay, but end up getting attacked by helpers of Greyhavan and Montmartre, in Isabeau's clan's caves. Isabeau and Logan get free and flee to help Logan's family under attack as well. They get caught again on the way by Greyhavan and Montmartre. Isabeau is then faced with the dilemma of making a decision to die, but seek revenge by killing Greyhavan by herself while Logan flees, or leave with Logan and loose her only chance at revenge.
Opinion:
Blood Feud takes place in the twenty-first century in Europe, and in Isabeau's past life during the French Revolution. The tone of the book was eery and exciting: you have the eery past life of Isabeau's life, and the adventure of what Isabeau and Logan go through together. There is also mystery and a bit of humor. Isabeau is amazingly beautiful with dark brown hair and stunning green eyes. Logan is handsome with his his brown hair and green eye as well. This book is the perfect mix of everything a book needs: mystery, suspense, adventure, humor, and love. The book jumps back an forth from the present involving Isabeau and Logan and the past of Isabeau, which is different. It was age appropriate and had no bad language or other inappropriate content. I would recommend this book to others, especially vampire lovers. I learned that getting revenge is not the answer, that there are better choices to make. You should definitely read this book because it grabbed my attention right from the beginning.
