“I picked this up randomly at Chapters one day and now I'm absolutely addicted to this series! It's basically Buffy meets Blade with a bit of Lord of the Rings thrown in. It is very well-written and the authors have put so much work into fleshing out every little detail of this universe. I always find it so easy to immerse myself in the world these stories take place in. I highly recommend the entire series if you like vampire fiction, or even just dark fantasy & horror in general.”

“A bit of a classic dhampir tale, but with some twist... I do not know yet if I like the characters or note, I will see with the other books.”

“Pretty darn good, even though its just the beginning. Even though this series isn't technically in the Romance genre, I hope that maybe Mageire and Leesil will become a little more than partners...They already appreciate each others appearances! ”

“The concept isn't knew, I'll admit, but it was entertaining read with interesting characters. I think they'll be more developed as the series goes on. ”

“Dhampir was quite good. It starts off a little slow, but quickly picked up and became hard to put down. Magiere is a "vampire" hunter. What she is really doing is swindling villages out of their hard-earned cash. She, along with her half-elf partner, Leesil, set up schemes to make is seem as though these villages are being plagued by vampires and she is the only one qualified to rid them of these abominations. The vampire is really Leesil in disguise. After four years of playing this game, Magiere decides she had enough and wants to retire. Leesil is not too thrilled with this at first, but eventually agrees. She purchases a tavern in a town called Miiska and wishes to live out a peaceful existence. Little does she know that vampires do exist and some currently reside in Miiska.

What follows is a tale full of action, suspense, intrigue and some behind the scenes machinations. Magiere comes to find out that she is a Dhampir, half mortal, half vampire. She has the natural skills and talents to kill vampires, but it's not something she truly wishes to do. There's a man in the village who seems to know quite a bit about Dhampirs, but is not very forthcoming with the information. I felt for Magiere struggling to figure out what was going on with her, even though it was difficult for me to like her at first because she was a con artist. The vampires did not really appear evil and we do get to learn quite a bit about them. I liked them almost as much as Magiere and Leesil. This is a story that I would recommend. 4.5 stars”
“At this time it's an interesting take on the Dhampir concept. I was introduced into this concept by the Anime VH D. The treatment of this book is sufficiently different for me to say that it isn't a modified copy of the ideas put foward by the anime. That's good. However, these same concepts aren't very engaging yet. The writing still has to mature, and since it's competing in a field chock full of R- ratable female part this or that protagonists, it's got to do better. We'll just have to see.”

“This book is amazing! I loved the writing style. The authors combine intriguing characters with an actual comprehensible plot, a great book altogether but especially if you are a vampire fan. I am picky when it comes to my vampires, and so far the ones in this series have not proved disappointing. Vampires act like vampires (rather than like humans with long teeth), elves act like elves, and all is as it should be. ”
