Cassandra Palmer, Volume 1: The Threshold of Darkness (Hardcover)

Customer Review

Usually the bit-lit books that pass my hands quickly "ingested" or outright abandoned when they are really of no interest.
Surprisingly, and as the first volume of the adventures of Cassandra Palmer is one of the stories I have appreciated quite well, I put several days to overcome.

A quick summary; Cassandra Palmer, said Cassie, a young orphan raised by clairvoyant Tony, a mafia vampire, has betrayed the latter some years ago, because she could not stand to be exploited and longed to avenge the murder of his parents.
Chased by Tony, she misses being killed by his henchmen, but is saved by an unexpected emergency. Placed under the protection of the US Senate vampires, and in particular the troubling Mircea, she learns his true nature and strategic challenge that it represents.

Heroin in itself not of great interest, it is selfish, indifferent and not very smart, but she has super powers that protect "against her will" to all attacks it suffers.
Everyone wants Cassie, Pythia in the making, but nobody manages to subdue.
The characters who revolve around it does not present an amazing character, to the point of developing an empathic link with them.
Yet this is not to fault the author, to revisit painful episodes in their lives in order to deepen their personality.

The story, curiously built, is quite messy, something like "I go I come back, I go back and I turn around" ...
Strange left general impression; that of a progressive implementation, not directly immersed in the action, while there has eventful scenes.
I even came across passages to the limit of understanding, to believe that even LUCK Karen does not know what she has in mind, and has great difficulty in transmitting it us ...

Despite these negatives, the story follows with pleasure, the enemies are revealed, as protectors and leads the reader to the second volume with some impatience.
