Emergence by Mysti Parker & Lindsey R LoucksMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A Possible Vampire Queen With No Knowledge of Her People?
I would probably give this book 3.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I quite enjoyed this book. Wren is an interesting character that I feel could have been revealed more thoroughly in the book. This is definitely a plot driven book, rather than a character driven one. We are thrust into the action within the first few pages. We see Wren’s capability for violence and her sole focus is revenge for the death of her mother years previously when she was 8 years old.
Wren encounters Zac, a human, just after she’s killed one of her mother’s killers and he tells her that he can explain about who and what she is. Wren follows him, despite her misgivings, to ‘find a vampire’, that Zac believes she can find for him. This leads her to finding Ashe a fellow vampire that shares a marking on the wrist that throbs whenever he is near. The only problem with Ashe is that he is in jail for the murder of a vampire that hurt his sister, despite not actually killing the vampire.
I feel that there were a lot of holes in the plot of this book, despite it being plot driven. I don’t understand why Wren would suddenly trust someone she’d never met, despite being alone from the age of 8. There is no explanation of how she survived alone from that age and there is no explanation of why she is drawn so dramatically to Ashe, other than the mysterious markings. I don’t believe a loner would allow herself to be dragged along by others without demanding more explanations, as she is unlikely to trust others given her background.
More explanations in future books in the series may be forthcoming, but I haven’t decided yet if the characters are worth the confusion, if that isn’t the case.
