Chasing The Red Queen by Karen Glista is an intriguing fictional novel with a paranormal theme. Donja Bellanger is a young teenage girl who is into many things, she is lively and caring. The book starts with the marriage between Lisa Bellanger, Donja's mother, and Carson Hampton, her stepfather.

Chasing The Red Queen by Karen Glista is an interesting fictional novel that delves into myths and legends about creatures that are similar to vampire in nature. The author did a good job in the presentation of the prologue. The prologue gave a summarized detail of what the story entails. The author did a good job in using simple words that helped in expressing his ideas and perspective.

The book is filled with fast-paced action and fantasy that would keep you glued till the end. The author used various themes in presenting the story. The book involves themes such as romance, paranormal, love, and family.

I love the plot of the book. The characterization of the book by the author is quite fascinating, and it helped me to flow well with the book. I learned a few lessons from the book. Donja is a determined girl who loves her family. I learned about perseverance, determination, and loyalty.

I love every aspect of the book, and I enjoyed reading it. From the description of the book, I was expecting a sci-fi novel, but what the book entails is quite different from a normal sci-fi novel. It is the only negative aspect.

This book was well-written. The book was professionally edited. I did not notice any error while reading the book.

I recommend the book to all lovers of fiction. This book would be an interesting read for anyone who loves fictional book with a paranormal theme. I rate the book 4 out of 4 stars due to the point mentioned earlier.

I've also read this book. The strong love the family shared for each other was the best part of the novel to me. Thanks for a lovely review!
