He Came For Me wasn’t a very face paced read, but I did enjoy
it. It had a storyline that built slowly towards an intense ending. The
Vampires in this story are from another dimension and are able to travel to
earth using portals. It is an interesting twist to the normal Vampire stories
that have already been told.
We follow the life of
Jasmine “Jazz,” who is a normal girl in her late teens. She isn’t a very strong
character in this story. She is a quiet girl who appears to be set in a
routine- goes to TAFE, goes surfing, goes to work, home to bed. She seems to
just float through her life and is unaware of the people that have been
monitoring her throughout her whole life. She has some great friends who she
has known since she started school and goes out on Friday nights like all
single girls. One day as she is headed to TAFE she makes eye-contact with a boy
in a red mazda who will change her life forever.
Seb has been on earth for
two years and has always had an attraction to the girl he has been set to
protect. He can no longer stay away from her and decides to modify the mission
to get closer to her. He is a very confident person with a body to die for- a
perfectly sculpted athletic body....yum!!
Watching these characters
interact is fun to watch. You can see their connection getting stronger but Seb
keeps some distance between himself and Jazz, and he doesn’t realise that he is
upsetting her. Jazz is very timid and doesn’t confront him about it; instead
she wallows in her own misery. But when Seb decides to commit to the
relationship you can see her personality lift. She is a very accepting person
too and takes the Vampire issue in without really dwelling on it too much.
He Came For Me! was a fun
read and at the end of the book I could tell that Jazz’s character has changed.
She will be stronger in the sequel, more confident and independent. It will be
interesting to see how the story goes from here... I’m looking forward to what
comes next.
