Praise and Reviews

"Every so often a vampire story comes along that changes the entire genre, and is unfortunately then endlessly copied. This happened with Polidori, le Fanu, Stoker, Rice, Whedon and most recently Meyer. I was looking for that elusive new vampire story with originality when I came across Absolution by Angela McGurk, and it is every bit as groundbreaking as the stories of those writers I mentioned.

This story follows what it's like to be a human who was loved by a vampire, a vampire betrayed and executed by their leaders, who is now trying to survive in their world as best she can by doing anything she can. I won't lie to you, this is for mature audiences and some of the things our heroine, Eve, has to do is not for the faint-hearted. But she is no victim! She takes everything thrown at her and comes back fighting each and every time.

So if you like original vampire stories with strong and feisty heroines, a good deal of historically accuracy as it shows the decisions Eve's husband made during the First World War that led him to his fate, and the intriguing politics of a vampire society hidden behind ours then this is the book for you!"
