First, let me just say that I am exhausted after reading ALMOST HUMAN - THE FIRST TRILOGY by MELANIE NOWAK. I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't stop thinking about it when I had to put it down. I fell so head over heels in love with these characters that I had a difficult time sleeping because I worried over them so. As a reader, I want to be involved with the characters and feel their joy and pain as they do. I want the words to escape the page and form pictures in my mind as if I were truly there with them experiencing everything as they do. Ms. Nowak did just that with this trilogy.

The ALMOST HUMAN first trilogy is more a serial than series and must be read in order. This can be a difficult thing when the reader is a worry wart like me because I just had to make sure that everything turned out okay for the characters which meant getting up at 2:00 a.m. several mornings just to read. This is not a book that you put down lightly and then just stop thinking about what is happening within the pages. There is not a conclusion to the story at the end of each of the volumes until you get to Volume 3 which ties everything together beautifully. The story just seems to flow from one volume to the next with an ending that will be more than a little surprising to the reader. I thought it was very clever how Ms. Nowak brought everything together in Volume 3. To be honest, it's a very different resolution than I was expecting. I cried (a lot) and then I realized that it really couldn't have ended any different than it did. It was just perfect.

Another aspect of Ms. Nowak's writing came shining through as Cain (one of the oldest living vampires and known as The Teacher by other vampires) describes the faults and drawbacks of vampires. I thought this was so refreshing because most vampire romances depict them as heroes rather than the dark entities they are meant to be. Thus making Cain, in my eyes at least, a true hero.

I can't wait to start the second trilogy, but I'm going to give myself a day or two to recover from reading the first trilogy. I need some sleep. The ALMOST HUMAN - FIRST TRILOGY by MELANIE NOWAK is an AMAZING read and I highly recommend it. ...more
