However, from the beginning of my reading, I was quite disappointed by the pen of the author. The registry is common and familiar, even thought at times. This speaks of straightforward sex, heroine lights up a cigarette to all field meet, fantasy and lets talk about her sexual desires in each chapter. But if little finesse working on my style disturbed. I'm not against the explicit passages but jaime when the writing is a bit more careful, well-thought, so that it never sounds vulgar or easy. There I would be nasty to say that was the case, but it is not passed away. And the absence of negation "not" in negative sentences tend to magacer Well tell me I quibble. Yes on the form I have not been seduced by the writing of this French author. Jen and am sorry first, because I found myself still well embedded in the plot. And I felt a good starting potential.
To get to the bottom story. Sascha narrator heroine of this novel is a young amateur singer in a metal band. It is with the group what form with three friends, a family, a benchmark. There Damien, who plays big brother, the quiet Julien who meddles in anything, and Nicolas, her roommate who is madly in love of her, and with whom she has a relationship "love" chaotic. It is a true anti-hero, unable to sinvestir in any human relationship. Indeed, Sacha keeps to herself her dark secret, the BE of a decked strange gift, she can have the body of which nimporte and becomes master of his movements, of his conscience. This gift allowed him to make some petty theft, to earn money, but mainly to hunt vampires. She wants to find those who, a few years earlier burned the convent which housed and killed nuns who received and lont high. Since she knows the existence of these supernatural beings and evil, since she witnessed the crime she has vowed to take revenge. As soon as Sascha meets a vampire, she gets to detect the aura, she invests her body, looking for information to find those who killed his adopted family, then kills him. This double life, out. Each time that Sascha uses his gift she finds herself with a terrible migraine, a sort of hangover and a desire to uncontrolled sex. In short, it becomes asocial and cutting his friends. This discrepancy with his human life, as it were, immersed in the great distress and loneliness, it is touching to follow through the pages. Over the plot progresses, Sascha plunges into a dark melancholy. I appreciated the fact that Sascha is this lost girl, distraught that show everything she does and not yet another very strong and charismatic heroine.
The plot takes off a little when Sascha crosses paths with an enigmatic, Raphael. It will help him to wreak vengeance. except that the latter has a mesmerizing effect on her.
In short, there are a lot of pretty clichéd things like meeting a "Raphael" (yes that name often comes in bits bed), the thirst for revenge and hunts the vampires, the orphan heroine search of his roots, the unbearable attraction between the two characters ... and some more stereotypical I let you discover. Many revelations arrive quickly at the end, not allowing us the pleasure to appreciate them, digest them. I think the author assayed information to keep us in suspense, focusing on an end loaded. It's played well, but some things have appeared to me to lack depth, finesse, or are moved too quickly on the pace of the plot.
Yet, I found that the author offered us new things. As the impossible love story between Sascha and his best friend. His special gift, that possess the body as hers vanished at the same time. The next "loser" of heroin, or anti-heroine, crying incessantly on his fate. And an ending that will not leave us insensitive.
Sure, I found some points a little faster or easier, not a pretty neat style for my taste. But I can not deny that I liked to follow these characters, tying Sascha me and holding my breath on a devilish purpose!
In short, the first volume a bit to bed very sensual series that certainly appeal to amateurs like that, but that leaves me on a rather mixed impression.
