And here is my book beginning this week:
Author: Nathalie Suteau
Title: Celebrity blood
'' Upon reading the pages that follow, you might think I'm mad, or a corruptible young man looking for recognition and his fifteen minute of fame. I am neither, but I won't try to prove that to you. I am writing these lines out of love and duty, to bring closure to the first chapter of my short existence. "
I am now half-way through this ebook and can't put it down. It's by French author Nathalie Suteau, and now first time translated into English. It's a vampire / mystery / dark story but nothing like Vampire teenage romance. The story is told from the viewpoint of 2 different narrators and the beginning sentences are how one of the narrators, Milo, introduces the story which is to follow.
