Target Audience: Young Adult
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Revamped is written from the POV of Dawn, the daughter of the Vampire President of the US. This is a world where humans are aware of the existence of vampires and food and drink laced with blood can be bought in local stores. As the president's daughter, Dawn grew up in the Scarlet House, where she's been training to become a great warrior, since she was a little girl.
Now, her father is finally sending her on her first mission, to Angel Creek. The towns Guardians, known as the Fab Five, have been snapped up by Hollywood for tv shows which leaves the inhabitants of the town unprotected from attack by rogue vampires. Dawn's mission is to find the four vampires who currently reside in Angel Creek and train them to be the new Guardians of the town. Dawn's father believed he was sending her on a simple mission, but instead, she is being targeted by an age old enemy.
Ada has done a wonderful job with her debut novel, a unique take on a vampire story. Dawn is a strong, kick butt character that I really took to. She is delighted at finally being given her first mission and confidently sets off to Angel Creek to get things in motion. She meets and befriends some unusual but admiral characters while she is there.
There are the four vampires who are enlisted to become Guardians, Brooke, Hunter, Sophie and Seth. They each have their own interesting story about how they became vampires. Some long ago, and some very recent. Just after arriving in the town she meets Ethan, the hot barman and Hannah, the waitress, in the local diner. And the mysterious Sebastian. A vampire that her dad didn't seem to know about and my favourite character of them all.
At times, I felt we might be heading into a love triangle but it didn't really take off. I'm hoping that Ada doesn't decide to take it further as the series progresses. At the end of this book, Dawn is with one guy, and I hope it stays this way.
Ada holds onto a lot of mystery in this story and I was left guessing as to what was coming next. I liked the writing style, it was easy to read. It has its ups and downs and some action towards the end. I'm looking forward to the next instalment in this series.
