My Sister was a Vampire

My Thoughts on My Sister was a Vampire

First Impressions

"My Sister was a Vampire" immediately hooked me with its grim and gritty setup. We're thrown into a harsh world where our protagonist, Aiden, faces unimaginable hardships from a young age. Abandoned by his mother, forced to survive on the streets, and then burdened with the care of his younger sister, Lily, his early life is a constant struggle. The initial chapters paint a bleak picture, establishing a strong foundation for Aiden's motivations and his eventual descent into the world of vampire hunting. The promise of a dark fantasy filled with revenge and sibling bonds was definitely enough to grab my attention.

What Works Well

The world-building, though dark, is compelling. The author does a good job of immersing us in Aiden's brutal reality. The characters, especially Aiden and Lily, are well-developed, and their relationship feels genuine and heartbreaking. The premise itself is intriguing: a protagonist fueled by the desire to rescue his sister from the clutches of vampires, armed with the unique ability to kill them. The initial arc, focusing on Aiden's tragic past and Lily's transformation, is particularly strong, setting the stage for a potentially epic revenge story. I also found the concept of True Ancestors and the implications of Aiden becoming a thrall quite fascinating, adding layers of complexity to the narrative.

Areas of Concern

The biggest downside, and it's a significant one, is the novel's status. It appears the author has stopped updating due to a lack of readership. This is incredibly disappointing, as the story held so much promise. Investing time in a novel that might never be completed is always a risk, and it's something potential readers should be aware of. It's a shame because the initial chapters demonstrated a clear talent for world-building and character development, and the story had the potential to become something truly special.

Final Verdict

"My Sister was a Vampire" is a story with a lot of potential, but it's currently incomplete. The dark setting, compelling characters, and intriguing premise are definitely worth exploring, but the lack of updates is a major drawback. If you're willing to invest in a story that might never reach a conclusion, then this might be worth a read. However, keep in mind that you might be left hanging, wondering what could have been. I'm giving it a tentative recommendation, with the caveat that its unfinished status significantly impacts the overall experience.
