Book Review: Viper (Vampires Of Hollywood #1) by Madisyn Ashmore

Viper by Madisyn Monroe
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think I found this book to be okay....."I think", being the key part of that sentence.

I downloaded this as free ebook (not sure where from) and I won't lie, I had incredibly low expectations for this book, in terms of quality when it came to the writing, and description. This is a really quick read. If you want something that is very plot driven with very deep layered characters, then this is not for you. However if you want something light weight, fairly entertaining, with sex and vampires in various states of undress, then this may just be what you are looking for.

I wasn't expecting this to be a piece of literary genius and a future classic, and it's not; so no complaints from me on this point. I expected vampires, check got those. I expected said vampires to described as "the hottest guy you had ever seen", double check. The book is set in Hollywood, so I expected a shallow actor/actress character, we can check that off the list too. I also wasn't surprised to find sex scenes thrown in at every available opportunity. The one thing that I didn't expect this book to be was well written, and I was surprised to find that it was. I know some people thought that there was too much in the way of description, and personally I didn't find the amount of description an issue; I think that if there was less description in this book then people would complain that there wasn't enough, so I guess it's just personal preference. I thought that the descriptions were well written and allowed you to build a clear image in your head of the setting; as well as the overall writing style having a good flow to it and being fairly gripping. I can't deny that this was quite the page turner, and very easy to get caught up in. I think the only minor issues I have with this book is that Abby seems to have mood swings that could give you whiplash at times.

So, I gave this book 4 stars because I got exactly what I expected from it and wasn't disappointed, and therefore I think I found it to be okay. If you want something quick with sexy vampires, then look no further.
