Mark @ Carstairs Considers (2398 KP) rated Murder in Vein (A Madison Rose Vampire Mystery, #1) in Books

Mar 9, 2018

Madison Rose is kidnapped and is about to be killed until she is rescued - by vampires. And they want to use her to try to solve a series of murders that threaten their secret existence. Can she even trust them? I enjoyed the book and really grew to like the characters. Some of the scenes were just too dark for me, however.

Movie Rating

A film about survival after a viral pandemic outbreak. It was more of a drama than a horror film, so if you're expecting zombies etc, you'll be disappointed. It touches on a few issues of trust when everyone has to look out for themselves, a very bleak film overall. The cast was good and it's well made, you might just be a bit misled by how it's advertised. Starring Emily VanCamp of @Revenge - Season 1
And the @Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015)

Fabulous book - sucked me in from page one! Left with too many unanswered questions after her husband's murder, Poppy has been self-medicating and trying to regain some memory of what happened to her in those missing days following his funeral. A daily struggle, trying to tell what is real and what isn't, who she can and can't trust, having suddenly lost the man she loves. Highly recommend title; kept me on edge and I was heartbroken (yet hopeful) when the truth finally came out.

I never felt bored. (1 more)

I remained suspicious the entire story. So many characters and how could you trust any of them?

It's probably 100 pages too long (0 more)

It's not my usual type of written book. There is 300 pages where very little happen. Endless stream of not useless information that holds no value to the current story. Yet, I never felt bored. So many characters made the story easy to build tension and become as anxious at the main character. It's a solid, good book.

I hate books that have the plot move forward by way of the main character remembering more and more about things.

I also hate books that do this while also making you feel like you can't trust their memories at the same time.

I don't enjoy books that are predictable knock-offs. Basically, watch a Jason Bourne movie if you want to know what this book is about.

And what is going on with the weird kids who have strange powers? Not explained, not cool.
