Product Description

Product Description

It was a flash in the moonlight, a blur of motion like I’d never witnessed before. No human had the capacity to move like that. When I found myself face-to-face with him there in the meadow, I knew without a doubt that the journal was authentic. I knew that my grandfather hadn’t been crazy at all.

Because a foot away from me stood a vampire.

Closer now, I could see the details that I’d missed before. His body seemed to be a solid mass of muscle, garbed in black jeans and a black V-neck t-shirt that emphasized the size of his biceps. The human-looking frame and face might have brought my disbelief back in a tidal wave if it weren’t for the eyes. The contrast between his dark slanting eyebrows and the ice blue gaze that slid over me appreciatively was inhuman. The sardonic half smirk of his hard-looking mouth revealed that the nature of the creature before me was far from friendly.

“Why am I here?” He tilted his head slightly and raised a hand to rub his chin.

“Hmm. Let me think.” Snapping his fingers suddenly, he brightened up and stated sarcastically, “Oh yes! Now I remember. I’ve been imprisoned here.” I watched him move casually away, his dark boots treading quietly in the nighttime stillness. “Either you’re not the brightest bulb in the room or you haven’t read the journal yet. Which is it?”



Sarah reads her grandfather's journal in stunned disbelief. What was once her grandfather's responsibility has passed to her father and now to her. She has become the Warden. Her life will never be the same.

This is part one of a series. It is 31,880 words long. It is a novella, not book length.

Revision uploaded May 2013.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor attempt at vampire fiction 22 Oct 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I notice the original listing for this book, along with it's reviews, has been replaced. This is the review I left for the original version, I don't know if it has been improved since then.

The author admits, through her heroine's reading matter on vampires, that she has read the Twilight series of novels, so why she chose to give her characters the same or similar names is beyond me! Even some of the plot is the same!

I loved the idea of this story, yet I wasn't given enough information about the characters to gain an emotional connection with them. The lack of information meant some glaring holes in the plot and it was impossible to work out the motivations of the characters.

And, my biggest bugbear in free downloads - this is not the whole story! You have to pay for the next part! Don't be fooled that this is a book with a sequel - no, it is one book that has been clumsily cut in two. At the end of the book, there is a short section of the next book, but it doesn't look to be any better, so I won't be buying it. I just don't care enough about the limp lettuce Sarah to want to know what happens next.

For those looking to get a decent vampire fix, you're better off reading or re-reading Twilight, or the work of any eleven year old, because frankly this is on a par with an eleven year old's fiction. This will not cut the muster with teenage readers or adult vampire fans.

I'm sorry S.J Wright, I hate writing negative reviews, but this is bad by anyone's standards.

By Les
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I only got into Vampire books due to my Kindle. I totally loved this book from beginning to end. So much so that as soon as I had finished it (in one reading) I had to buy the next one. Totally gripping, not a boring moment. ENJOYED TOTALLY

4.0 out of 5 stars The Vampire Warden 13 April 2011
By AngelGoneMad VINE™ VOICE
Format:Kindle Edition
The Vampire's Warden is the first novel in the `Undead in Brown County' series by S.J Wright. This book was a delectable and great read.

Sarah Brightman is an independent and strong willed young woman. Her mother left her and her sister when she was little and now their father has died. The family business, a bed and breakfast, has been passed over to Sarah whilst her sister, Katie, continues her studies at a college far from home.

After their father's death, Sarah finds out a lot more than she thought she knew like the fact that she has been living right next two vampires her entire life. With the help of Nelly, her exuberant and serious employee, and Alex, a wayward stranger that seems to know a lot about Sarah's missing mother, she finds out all about her heritage.

I really enjoyed this book. I'm not sure which vampire's side I am on though. Both are gorgeous, charismatic, charming and endearing. Michael has this way of winning you over and making you think that he has done nothing wrong, whereas the other vampire has been nothing but helpful to Sarah but at the same time keeping a lot of secrets from her that she ends up figuring out on her own and blowing up about.

My favourite moments were the flashbacks that Sarah got. I also thought it was brilliant that Sarah wasn't all too gullible to believe that vampire's existed right off the bat. She needed some convincing which I found quite realistic. I know I certainly wouldn't believe that vampires existed just because I read it in a book. Pretty sure if I did, people would think I was a lunatic and cart me off to the nut house. I can't say I disliked any parts from the book. Everything seemed to flow easily and was a nice light read.

Overall, I would recommend this book to everyone except for young children. Excellent read for a teenager and young adult enthusiasts alike.

Disclaimer: I was sent this e-book as part of a blog tour via The Bookish Snob Promotions. I have not been paid for this review and everything I have said is of my own honest opinion.
