Review: Prismatica by L. David Hesler

  
Title: Prismatica
Author: L. David Hesler
Started: 4/5/11
Finished: 4/5/11
Goodreads | Review List

Prismatica is a collection of dark, poetic, short stories. They all had me captivated. I was sitting there with my mom’s iPad on my lap flipping through the pages without knowing what I expected and WOW. It blew me away. They weren’t just random thought of stories they were deep, horrific and… I can’t describe it. It stirred something deep within me and now I’m inspired to write.  And all 7 were somewhat connected to one another and Hesler did it well! My favorite of the 7 is Sadie’s Beast. It was short but I still loved it.
Hesler has potential to write a full on awesome novel. He’s got the talent for it and I’m looking forward to seeing where writing takes him! I can’t wait to read his upcoming fantasy novels! He deserves more recognition! I’d like to recommend everyone to read his 88 paged e-book! It was creepy and unputdownable a great change in my usual YA paranormal AND I read all in one sitting. :D Oh and watch out for my Re-Cover of this book! Hesler gave me permission to do so. So I'd like to do it for this weeks Re-Cover Me Friday! So watch out!

Before I continue on to the review I'd like to vent first.

aoaifjasjkhfkafmsfsghdjkfghagfjkajfahfa!!!!!!!! I CANT BELIEVE IT! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Okay I'm done.

I took a long time trying to finish this book and no its not because I didn't like it but because of certain events that happened. I was too distracted to read it properly. But now, I'm better and life is more exciting and all. Anyways, onto the book. It was a GREAT first book. It was completely different from other vampire books I've read. Rachel Caine has an original on her hands and I like it!

The book started out really rough. Not in the writing sense but the events that happened to the main character Claire. Poor thing really. Shes so young and being treated all mean like that. The secondary I'm currently loving as well. Especially Eve she kind of reminds me of Abby from NCIS. Goth and happy. Its really cute. :D

I don't think I should keep you guys. So main point here is. I loved it. It was unique, it was dark and had events I did not expect and also has Shane as my fav hottie. :D It was unputdownable. So if you haven't read the series yet you should!

I'd like to Thank Vickie from ComaCalm (I spelt it right this time!!) for sending me her copy of the book. It was an exceptional read! :D Thank you!
