Voice of the Blood

I have always been a fan of anything to do with vampires. One day I was just looking around and stumbled upon this book. I bought it, then began reading it the next day. After the 1st chapter I was a little skeptical about continuing the book because something happened that I just wasn't expecting. But I'm glad I did continue reading. It turned out to be a book that I couldn't put down... it was absolutely amazing!!! The characters are totally wonderful. The vampire Daniel was my favorite. You kind of wish he were a REAL person. I thought that this book was written extremely well, and the details were so vivid. You got pulled into this world of love, lust, violence, sex, drugs, and friendship. I hope Jemiah Jefferson continues writing books like this. I think there needs to be a sequal to "Voice of the Blood" *hint hint Jemiah*!!! If you get the chance, pick this book up... because I guarantee you will not be able to put it down. And once it's over, you'll wish you would've read it slowly!

This is quite a debut effort from a new writer who's bound to make herself known within horror circles. She writes like a real pro, her knowledge of gothic lifestyle quite certain. The vampires here are very real, the first-person protag easily identifiable. I recommend this book highly, as I was quite pleased and surprised with its contents. Great job, Ms Jefferson. I'll look for more from you.

I was first introduced to vampire tales reading Anne Rice in High School. I was really into her vamp tales, her bdsm erotica, and basically anything that she threw out there. Jemiah's work is in a similar vein, except I have no loathing for the characters. The monsters in this story are more human than not. The sensuality and sexuality of the characters is far more tangible than any other book of this genre, and most of all, what grabs me is that the books insight goes far beyond fodder for masturbation, and shows us in an amplified and brutal way, just what's going through the human psyche in the dense webs between love and relationships. It's serious! It's fun! It's positively seductive!
