Reviews

<span style="font-family:Verdana;color:#c00000;font-size:9pt;"><strong>Some praise for On the Soul of a Vampire:<br /><br /></strong></span><span style="font-family:Verdana;font-size:9pt;">&quot;Rarely do I pick up a &quot;vampire novel&quot; and find something new, and with On the Soul of a Vampire, this is exactly what happened...  Read it, believe it, experience the life of a vampire like you never have before. &quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a heartrending, surprisingly enlightening tale.   ...As such, it stands as a solid, welcome counterbalance to the overhyped vampiric fluff currently celebrated all throughout pop culture. An enriching, thoroughly rewarding read.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a chalice of spirited crimson to savor across the palate... a refreshing bite out of the undead lore.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Thought provoking, stylish and intensely emotional...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;On the Soul of a Vampire is a beautifully written novel from start to finish with poetic prose...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;I have read many vampire books--from teens lusting after vamps to the original &quot;vamp in bat form visiting the lovely damsel in the dark of night&quot;--but none has impressed me like this one...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;...wait until you find out what the author has in store for you! Her well thought and intricately planned ideas are fresh and exciting.&quot;<br /><br />&quot;Love the unlovable, forgive the unforgivable... this novel has the distinct and original voice of a fine new writer. Keep your eye on Krisi Keley as you will be hearing from her again...&quot;<br /><br />&quot;To find an apt comparison, I had to go back to the vampires of my young adult years, Louis and Lestat. This author succeeds much as Anne Rice did, in providing us with complex characters who struggle with concerns ranging from the mundane to the spiritual. I don't think I have read a book since then that so deftly interweaves the supernatural with questions of faith.&quot;<br /><br /></span>
