Has anyone heard of this one? I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun I had with these books.A place where all Goodreads members can work together to improve the Goodreads book catalog. You can pick this up as 6 separate short stories/novellas, or buy the complete collection like I did.

This has nothing to do with the story, but when I read that vampires had their own dental office called Deadly Smiles, I laughed. This is Chloe’s coming-of-age story, and the romantic elements are secondary. I tend to prefer books where the romantic element isn’t central to the plot, so The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter is right up my alley. The hot guy at school, Gavin, also takes a shine to her. She also attracts the attention of Drew, who would probably rather shoot his own foot off than tell Chloe how he feels about her. It’s fun watching Chloe develop her skills and grow into a confident young woman. She jogs, trains, learns to use weapons and prepares for the day she will have to meet the vampire responsible for her mother’s demise. We get to spend a little over a year with Chloe, watching her grow into an ass kicking hunter and answer the call of her blood. There is plenty of action in these novellas. He just wants her to be strong, knowing what she will have to face.

She lives with her grandfather, Luke, and Drew, an eighteen year old hunter, who shows little sympathy for Chloe. Chloe is expected to get with the programme quickly and make up for all the years she should have been training. At 14 years of age, she enters a community of vampire hunters, who have been training and living together since childhood. She’s part of a long line of vampire hunters, and it’s time to fulfil her duty. Invaders breach their home, and Chloe’s life is turned upside down. It has one of the best opening scenes I’ve read in a long time and is among my favourite YA books of the year.Ĭhloe Kallistrate gets the shock of her life when her mother wakes her up in the middle of the night and urges her to hide in the closet. The cover, blurb and catchy title drew me in. I’m glad I happened to see this on a blog tour recently it’s a very enjoyable read. The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter had me at the title.
