The Last Keeper Daughter eBook Rebecca Trogner
Rebecca Trogner answered a call last year to pitch her book to me during the Twelve Days of Christmas event on my blog. This is the only time of the year I take requests for reviews, and buy the books that capture my attention. Well, her pitch and sample snagged a purchase. I loved the intrigue building behind the opener, and I had to know more. Let's get going about the rest of the story, eh?From a Reader's Perspective:
Humans and vampires. But, then, there are Others. Let me tell you, I had no idea what to expect out of this story, but I loved the twisting and turning of paranormal creatures. Vantors were my favorite! Descriptions were very well done, and I liked how the main character, Lily, came into her own over the course of the novel. I didn't care for the back and forth between Lily and Krieger, hot one minute and cold the next, but I did appreciate the moments when the two were together and he seemed deep and caring. On characters, I got confused a number of times when reading about Walter, Winston, Henry, and Hunter. Their names were a bit too close to one another, and I kept having to stop and think about who the heck the subject of conversation was. Not fun. I liked the pacing (no dawdling here), and was able to finish the book in a week. Surprises abound. This tale is a twisty one and will keep you guessing until the end. I did have to shut off my editor's brain, but the errors I noticed probably would go unseen by the casual reader. Speaking of that...
From an Editor's Perspective:
There were several places I lost traction. Sentences like this one: "The bladed was forged with magic," and "Randolph convinced him to let him investigate it." Use of the word wracked in place of racked. It was little things like these that lose half a star, but the book is well written despite. Great plot that doesn't dawdle.
Rating:
1 Star for giving me lots of paranormal folks besides vampires
1 Star for bringing Lily from weak and meek to awesome
1 Star for the twists and turns
-1 Star for names that were too similar and the weird romance/not romance thing happening
-.5 Star for editing of sentences, grammar, and pronoun misuse
.5 Star for a unique plot and good pacing
Overall 3.5 out of 5 stars. We all know I round up, so this book gets a 4. Recommended to fans of vampires, mysteries, and other paranormal creatures.

The Last Keeper Daughter eBook Rebecca Trogner Reviews
It was okay. I like the story, for the most part, but the ending left a lot to be desired. It just ended! I know you want to keep some things going into another book, but NOTHING was resolved in this book. As a matter of fact, one character, who seemed to be a major character, didn't make an appearance in the last quarter (or more) of the book.
I know what you're thinking. (Yes, you there, with a skeptical eyebrow raised.) Do we really need another vampire novel where the young, seemingly fragile human girl (who's much stronger than she looks) manages to break through the icy heart (who's much more vulnerable than he looks) of the 2000-year old vampire? And the answer is undoubtedly YES. If we're talking about Rebacca Trogner's The Last Keeper's Daughter, that is. Sure, the basic idea is familiar within the genre, but Trogner isn't writing your typical paranormal romance. In a beautifully restrained voice that trusts her readers to fill in some of the blanks (rather than over-telling and over-describing), The Last Keeper's Daughter sets up a complex and interesting world where (supernatural) Others live among humans. There are layers upon layers of mystery and intrigue and questions the characters (and the reader) are desperate to answer. There's plenty of danger and beautiful men to oogle, and it's romantic without being smutty. I fully intended to read "just one more chapter" until I finished the entire thing in the wee hours because I didn't want to stop. I had to know what happens next! While this novel feels complete, it's also a perfect set-up for a series. There is so much more of this story to tell. Please, Ms. Trogner, can I have some more?
There are many new novels to choose from these days about my favorite fanged character, the vampire, and I often spend days sorting through new titles, reading blurbs and samples, trying to choose my next purchase. I scanned through the blurb on The Last Keeper's Daughter by Rebecca G. Trogner and thought it sounded interesting, so I read a couple pages from the prologue and that was it. I'm totally hooked. I love it when the author can bring across danger in a powerful vampire and I knew from the first two pages here that the main character would be one I would connect with. But what really sets the hook, at least for this reader anyway, is learning about the softer side of his nature, the part of him that can still love a simple human woman. In this story, Krieger is the vampire king and he fits the bill perfectly in all areas. But face it, what good is everlasting life if you don't have someone there to love and share it with you? And me, being a hopeless romantic, I want to share their experience with them.
Lily Ayres is the woman who catches Krieger's attention. Her father approaches him, asking for a personal favor. Take care of his only daughter, Lily, in exchange for the life he has spent working for the king as his Keeper. Krieger agrees to do so, not intending to watch over her personally, but after meeting Lily, finds he can't stand the idea of anyone else doing it. When she is mortally injured not long after he first meets her, Krieger must give her his blood or she will die, creating a bond between him and Lily that can't be broken. But he can't force her to love him, that part has to be earned. Like most ancient vampires I read about, he tends to be a little on the bossy side. But Lily isn't as meek as people think when they first meet her.
Though I love the romance part of this story, there is much more going on than a simple love affair. There is a lot more to Lily than first meets the eye and Krieger needs to learn why anyone would want her dead. Hunter, a human detective is brought into the picture, one who has just learned about the supernatural world Krieger rules over. He is trying to help the vampire king learn who is behind the death of Lily's father and other key people in their society. I have to admit I felt a slight disappointment when I reached the end of this novel, because not everything going on felt tied up for me, but I see where there is room for a sequel and I'll definitely be standing in line to pick it up when released. The Last Keeper's Daughter is not only a great romance, but also a great mystery in the works. I'm certain other readers will enjoy it as much as I did.
