Plague House
by
Tom Upton
SYNOPSIS: (From Goodreads)
Charlie Wainwright is a
sickly child, whose life has been rigidly controlled due to his illness,
a rear auto-immune disease. His protective parents don't allow him to
do anything normal children get to do. He can’t partake in sports. He
can’t have friends or visitors at home. He must avoid anything that can
cause him to have a flare-up of his condition.The only place his parents
let him go is school, where Charlie is one of the Sicko Squad, a group
of chronically sick kids often bullied by other students.
After Charlie starts high school, his illness worsens, and he discovers the true nature of his illness-- not the auto-immune condition his parents led him to believe he had, but something much more startling.
Charlie is becoming a vampire.

REVIEW:
In a post twilight world where the market has been flooded with Vampire tales (some better written then others) you might believe that it would be impossible to find an intriguing and original story about America's most popular monster. But you would be wrong, because Plague House is exactly that. A thoroughly well written, utterly intriguing and creative piece of Vampire literature.
Upton does a terrific job of creating well rounded characters you actually come to care for as the story goes on. Charlie is a character that I think most anyone can relate to, especially anyone who has ever dealt with chronic illness. While at times he is an emotional and moody teenager and may seem ungrateful to those who love him I think most can admit that almost everyone goes through that phase, not just those who have always thought they were sick and recently found out that they are a Vampire.
I was completely drawn into this book and couldn't put it down. The ending was satisfying but left me hoping that this will not be the last we see of Charlie and his world. A fantastic read and one I have no problem recommending.
RATING: 4/5 Stars

my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody at baby center told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, We contacted him at this email; babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka , for him to help us, then we told him our problem, he told us that we will conceive once we follow his instructions ,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad we came to Priest Babaka, Because his pregnancy spell cast and herbal remedy help us, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka if you are trying to have a baby or want your lover back. he has powers to do it, he has done mine
