Sylvio:Past and Present by R.E. Beeb is a supernatural thriller that brings back the good old vampire days.

A vampire story which has different plot compared to other vampire stories. A vampire helping a witch? This is great book to read.

There are many vampire movies out there that I have watched but this book has an interesting twist to it. I rushed for the temporary free download after reading that awesome review by Kandscreeley.

I think the story made me realistic happen in the next future to the people who believe in vampire.

Thank you for the well written detailed review of the book. I usually love books that tag at my imagination, and include our sharped teeth friends(vampires) in the story-line, from the sound of it, this fantasy novel is just the book for me.

review of "Sylvio: Past and Present" by R. E. Beebe.


Sylvio started out like any other person. His father was a powerful man who became the King of the Vandals. However, his mother was a house slave. As he was part royalty, he was bound for a life of fighting which was better than being a slave. He was a strong fighter, but one of the battles became too much for him. He suffered a mortal blow. He was not meant to die, however, as a vampire brought him back from the brink of death. This vampire then made him his slave.

I was unsure about reading this book after perusing the summary and Amazon. I learned that it was the second in a series, and I always hate feeling like I’m missing something. However, after reading the book, I was pleasantly surprised to find I had no need of the first novel. The author, R. E. Beebe, has written the story so well, that there are no gaps whatsoever. I can guess at what the first novel was about, but she seamlessly integrates that into the back story of this novel. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it done quite so well.

I also enjoyed the fact that the author puts her own spin on vampires. There are a lot of similarities but enough differences to keep me intrigued. For example, Vampires in this story can walk around in daylight if the good in them outweighs the bad.

I will say that this book is not for the faint of heart. There is plenty of violence in this book from the vampires, the demons, the witches and even some werewolves. The scenes can be graphic at times. If that bothers you, I would recommend not reading this book. In the same light, the vampires have a lust for sex while they are feeding. There are no explicit sexual encounters, but there are sexual situations and language that would not be appropriate for some readers. :D :D
