Ivona Knight, Vampyress

by Shannon Leigh


      A fierce raging storm has imprisoned a tavern full of unsavory characters. To pass the time until the storm subsides, they exchange tall tales of their many colorful adventures. One lone woman holds center stage as she claims she is a vampyre. This one statement captures each individual's attention as she reveals her painful story. Her revelation and her painful tale of sorrow silences the noisy bar, as all ears are fixed on the words that come straight from her heart. She tells it with such heart-rending emotion that the listeners can almost feel her pain through her descriptive passages.

      Unbeknownst to those who listen to her sorrowful tale is that it is one of truth. She has spent the last five hundred years in total darkness and her heart is full of hatred towards the one who is responsible for her life of loneliness. There is one in the audience who is familiar with the circumstances of her existence. Her words penetrate deep into his hardened heart and his soul demands that he answer her call. Will she find friend or foe in this unorthodox mix? Will her plans of revenge be the means to her untimely end?

     Ivona Knight, Vampyress is a spectacular book that radiates with deep, dark intriguing suspense. It is true testament that good things DO come in small packages. I can easily see this book as a wonderful introduction to future books. I hope Ms. Leigh explores this subject further and I look forward to revisiting these memorable characters. Very highly recommended.
