Witchblood is the debut novel from Emma Mills, and it is one of my favorites. I am a sucker for vamp stories, without a doubt, but this book is unique in its story. A little bit vamp, a little bit witchy, and a little bit human,... there is a little of everything in this story. Jess is so likeable as a character that it was impossible not to be drawn into the book. She is your normal teenage girl with all the normal teenage angst that we can relate to. The struggle between her humanity and her new vampire life is even more intensified. For the first half of the book, I couldn't decide if I loved Daniel, or wanted to smack him around for turning her. But he was impossible not to love, too!

This story was so much more than a YA vamp tale, though. The vamp/witch aspect was almost an aside to the true thrust of the story. Jess and her struggles, twists and turns, secrets,... all of it made me hard pressed to put it down! The author made these characters come to life, made you feel right along with them. I am a softie for a book that draws me in, and when I started getting teary during key points, you know she had me with her storytelling! I can't wait for more from this author!!
