New Twist on Vampire Hunting

Vampires are vampires and never are they any different, right? Well, unless you have vampires that walk around in broad daylight or drink animal blood or cold blood from the hospital, but that's a rant for another post best left unsaid for now.
Cover for 'Split' 

In this new novella, Split, by J.J. Westendarp, vampires abound all over the world and there are those who are hunting them (of course - who wouldn't?). Erika is new at this game. So new she has a mentor teaching her how to use the talents inherent within her that allow her to kill a vampire with her mind alone - something no one expected. When Erika strikes out on her own one night her mentor, Mitch, is not happy with her, but soon Mitch brings someone else around to help with Erika's training and then Mitch disappears.

The secret Mitch is keeping from Erika changes their relationship to an extreme extent. And Adonis, the new trainer Mitch has brought around, seems to be filled with his own set of contradictions in vampire hunting. What is Erika to do about all the secrecy and disappearances from those who are supposed to be training her?

Erika finally learns Mitch's secret - and it is not something that causes her to be all warm and fuzzy inside.

In Split, by J.J. Westendarp, we see a slightly different side of vampires and those who hunt them, though I have to admit that the blood-suckers in this story seem to be somewhat weak for what they are. Almost too human for my tastes, but at least they don't walk freely in the daylight.
