The Abraxas Series: Books 1-3 by Cinsearae Santiago
Publisher: Lulu.com
Genre: Paranormal
Summary: Christine Vargas is an independent, young working class-girl violently swept into another world--a world deemed unrealistic and impossible by many, a world under the mundane one she is so used to. During her physical transition, she has to come to grips with new powers she has been bestowed, and join up with her new 'Lord', Ryan Price, a gentleman of high social status, and twice her age. Her 'new family' is a motley crew of young vampires, and among the family are two rebellious twins trying to dethrone Ryan and take over the clan with their own legion of bloodthirsty (and drug-hungry), zombie-like vamps. Only Christine can determine the outcome of the oncoming battle and must chose quickly before the unthinkable happens. This is only the start of the strange, twisted, and mystical life Christine is now a part of, as scarier situations present themselves to her, Ryan, and their delicate Abraxas clan--and sometimes, the 'monsters' aren't quite what you'd expect...
My Review: Well, where to start? Hum, well, this was most definitely an interesting read, one that was quite hard to put down. Ms. Santiago created such a unique vampire story and obviously has an imagination unlike anyone I have ever known! Throughout this story, I was both enthralled with the characters and the plot and somewhat confused. I kept feeling like I was missing something, like maybe I was left out of the loop.
The connection between Christine and Ryan was undeniably strong and I couldn’t get enoug
h of either of them. I felt at the beginning like maybe Ryan wasn’t as great as he seemed, like he had some ulterior motive. After reading all three books in the series, I still feel like Christine (and I) doesn’t know him as she should. Luckily, there is a fourth book out, or coming out, and I now have to read it because this is a story that has me puzzled and intrigued and to which I must know what exactly is going on!
I also found it somewhat odd that Christine went from and ordinary person to someone extremely powerful, who knew how to use her power fairly well. She is still learning throughout the story and becomes more and more powerful and skilled, but the reader is not given any clue about how she is figuring things out, she just all of a sudden knows and does things with her power.
Overall, this was a great read and I am sure that anyone who enjoys paranormal romance would love this book. I do highly recommend the book and look forward to reading the fourth book of the series. However, I just feel like I cannot give this book a five, because I felt like the story could have been expanded just a little somewhere in those 190 pages, to at least give the reader a little bit of a clue about what is going on.
