Fourteen-year-old Chloe witnesses her mother’s murder at the hands of a vampire. Before the vampire can kidnap her, there is an unexpected rescue by a group of vampire hunters. Overwhelmed by the feeling of safety, Chloe passes out and they whisk her away to their small community.
When Chloe wakes, she comes face to face with the only other living relative, besides her mother, whom she has ever met: her grandfather. Chloe’s mother kept her hidden from the family; now, Chloe tries to unveil the family secrets.
Through her grandfather, she learns her mother was a vampire hunter. In fact, her entire family is descended from the powerful bloodlines of vampire hunters. Chloe agrees to join the family she has never known for one reason only: Chloe vows to kill the vampire responsible for her mother’s murder.
With vengeance in her soul, Chloe is even more determined to follow through on her vow when she discovers the true identity of her enemy and how he is connected to her.
Ok, I want to start this review out by letting you all know that The Vampire Hunter’s Daughter is a short story. I didn’t know that going into it. I only realized it when I had only been reading for a few minutes and my Kindle was saying that I was already 40-some-odd percent through the book. That’s when I checked Amazon and saw that the number listed for printed pages was 17. That, kids, is a short story. So all in all, it took me about 15, maybe 20, minutes to read.
As this was a short story, this is going to be a short review because I really cant say much without giving away an important piece somewhere along the lines. What I can say is this – If you keep in mind that this is a short story, it is very good for what it is. From the first page, it hooks you. The last page makes you wish there was more. It doesn’t work as a stand alone story but it isn’t one so that’s totally irrelevant. I am not sure how many parts there are to this teeny tiny tome but the story is compelling enough that I will most definitely be looking into the rest of the volumes.
As short stories with a broken out story lines goes, this is a good one. It’s a solid work with a fairly promising future. I give it 4 stars.

This was FREE on Amazon the last time I checked.
That’s actually how I found it.
I’ll have to give it a read. The cover tho…hmmm To me it looks like they super imposed a pic of Angelina Jolie and messed with it just enough so she couldn’t come down on them for picture copy right issues or something.
