"Only the living can kill the dead." - Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (2012 film)


in one tragic moment, Chloe Kallistrate loses the only person most precious to her. with her mother's murder behind her, she is taken away to live with her grandfather with whom she begins her life anew in a small community of vampire hunters.
author Jennifer Malone Wright has written an interesting tale of a teen vampire hunter and how she deals with her personal tragedy.
i like how each of the parts that make up the collection end with a cliffhanger. this piques the reader's curiosity to find out what happens next. moreover, the story is very straight-forward and devoid of superfluous details making it a fast-paced read.
there was only one particular scene which i found to be too convenient towards the latter part of the book when Chloe attempts an escape. i had a hard time getting convinced about how easy it was and how Chloe managed it despite the 24/7 security surrounding her.
overall, i did enjoy the book and learned to admire Chloe for her resilience. i also find it wholesome enough to be suitable for younger readers.
