Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider by Ellen C. MazeMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Just when I thought I was satisfied with the vampire genre as is, even beginning to feel it was over-saturated (with blood?), the first of a trilogy found its way into my hot little hands and into my heart.
Look out Stoker. Beware Meyer. Ellen C. Maze and "Rabbit: Chasing Beth Rider
" has found a niche like no other: Christian Horror/Paranormal.While staying true to many of the accepted perameters of the vampire-verse, Maze adds a Christian touch that is neither heavy-handed or preachy, but at the same time, is a book that Christians can feel comfortable reading. While it is for older teens and adults, the language and descriptions of any vampire activity is not gratuitous.
Beth Rider, an author, has written a book called "The Corescu Chronicles" (not ironically, a series also being written by Maze that I can't wait to delve into). Vampires who read it are finding themselves transformed, which angers the ruling Rhakum--the race of the vampire. Soon, a price is put on Rider's head, labeled a "Rabbit" and the chase is on. Even with God on her side, how will she evade these supernatural predators?
I think the intermingling of the two series is pure genius. And while I felt there were questions left unanswered, I was advised by Maze to read "Loose Rabbits", as it is a sort of "Rabbit, vol 1.5" in the series. Though I am torn as to whether read the "Rabbit" series first, or intermingle with the "Corescu Chronicles," it is a lovely dilemma to find myself in.
I want to thank the incredibly gracious Ellen C. Maze for sending me down a different type of rabbit hole, and indtroducing me to Rabbit Addiction.
