Description
What would you do if you woke up one morning with bite marks on your neck and learned you had been chosen as his bride by the cold-blooded prince of a local vampire clan?
That’s what happened to Elena. And the surprises were not over yet – on the brink of turning into a vampire, she also learns she is a Creature with exceptional skills the vampire prince wishes to own through sucking the knowledge from her blood.
She has two options for not turning into a vampire: 1) to drink a foul-tasting medicine only one person knows how to make for the rest of her life while running from Aaron, the vampire prince who will hunt her without mercy, or 2) find the mythical Creator Aaron wants to become by using the skills in Elena’s blood before he does. The Creator, that mystical Creature who can mold reality by writing – and maybe write Elena back to her old self.
Together with a group of other Creatures, she escapes through secret goblin stone spirals and resolves to try and find the Creator first. A handsome demon, a very polite goblin, a pragmatic walker and a soulful vampire who only wishes to die, help her in her search.
Will they find the Creator before Aaron catches them – or finds the Creator and starts writing the reality into what he wants it to be?
The Death of a Vampire is the first book of the Creature Wars -series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just the right mix of reality and fantasy, with a hint of romance

While I love to read fantasy, I am usually not a big fan of vampire stories. Years ago I read the first book of the Twilight series and didn't like it at all. It was so poorly written. Whereas Leena's book drew me in right from the start, and I could hardly put it down.
The concept that vampires choose their victims more for the skills and knowledge they can gain from them than purely for the blood is brilliant! Knowing Leena's background in Egyptology I also enjoyed how she's woven that passion of hers into the story.
But what I like most is that Elena, the main protagonist, makes it so believable that her story could happen to any of us! Just think... you wake up one day, think you have some annoying mosquito bites and next thing you know a handsome demon steps into your life. :-)
I can't wait to read the sequel."

A really exciting new book. A different look at the world of vampires that includes everything from goblins to demons! I was starting to get a bit bored with vampire novels, they were starting to feel a bit predictable but this has really inspired me again. There are a lot of main characters and creatures to learn about but this just keeps you interested and keeps the story moving. Early on it feels a bit like information overload but it is worthwhile storing it all up because there is a whole new world out there and we are lucky to be able to read all about it.. One of the best new novels around.

All in all, I did enjoy the story and because of the ending, I am left wanting more. I am curious to see how things go and I want to see if there is possibly any romance on the horizon for the h and a certain sexy demon.
