Ravena & the Resurrected by Tami Jackson

Ravena & the Resurrected by Tami Jackson


"Just out of college & working at the Central Library, Ravena Doomlah turns vampire and quickly learns it's hard being the youngest amongst beings so beautiful they could easily pass for fertility gods. It's also boring to hear ancient codgers talk incessantly about history! With a motivated enemy, Ravena's story is filled with adventure and mystery. Lots of Seattle in this book, modern & historic."(Description provided by: The Author on Smashwords.com)

Before I get on with the Review of this book there is something else that I feel should be highlighted regarding the formatting of this book which is truly unique. 

LAYOUT COMMENTS: 
1. NUMBERING: Each paragraph in R&R is numbered. Fans of R&R report they get very used to the numbering by second chapter and learn to really appreciate that function. If they must set the book down quickly, or if their eReader advances without warning, finding the last place you left off is quite easy.

2. HYPERLINKS: This book provides hyperlinks to singer-songwriters, locations, and to what might potentially be a new word; more. Those links may either appear as underlined text or in blue ink, depending on what eReader you are using. (Description provided by: Suntigermojo.com Publisher of book)

Yes, the whole book is numbered! I'm still a little unsure how I feel about this as it was rather weird and a little hard for me to get used to. I almost felt like I was reading the Vampire Bible! 

Ravena & the Resurrected is a delightful book full of humor and plot lines that I didn't even see coming. 

Ravena is this fresh out of College Library employee who is infatuated with Vampires. One day her wildest dream comes true and she is turned into the very thing she has loved for so long. Except, it wasn't the turning of her dreams and life as a Vampire isn't as glamorous as Ravena thought it to be. 

Ravena is a hoot! I love her. She is so witty and humorous at times where it's not expected and she makes the book with her large personality. 

This book itself was quite suprising to me because I had NO idea where this book was taking me until the last few chapters. It was quite refreshing to read a book and not know halfway through what the ending was going to be like. 

And the ending itself, well.. I don't want to spoil it for those who haven't read it.. but it's left me wanting more. I want to know what happens next to Ravena and I'm sure you will to!
