I debated a bit about what I thought of The Vengeance and how I would rate it. It was well written, but I wanted more. I went into it anticipating book 1 in a vampire series, but came out wondering why it took so long to get to the point where we actually saw any vampires—or even knew they existed—although to be fair, if the cover didn’t literally say “The Vampires of Dumas” on it this wouldn’t have bothered me at all. I loved how cheeky and brash Morgane was, and Lisette was adorable, but I wanted more character development overall. I really loved the first third or so of the book and the conclusion was great, but the in-between was so busy and convoluted that it didn’t leave enough room to focus on the details or the development of Morgane and Lisette’s relationship. Overall I did enjoy it and will read the next book when it comes out, so I’m going with a hesitant 4-star rating.
