In this dark novel of wizards and vampires, we meet Leonard Hugo. He is a medium turned vampire. He's also a stuttering wuss. Things get really bad for Leonard when he meets Sebastian Duran, a completely psychotic vampire, who kidnaps and tortures him. Throughout the book, we see the complete ruin of two lost souls. Both of their minds are twisted and sick. Leonard becomes a pathetic (and somewhat annoying) puppet with no backbone, and Sebastian is an unrelenting, manipulative, evil, control freak. The two are pursued by a wizard and a band of vampire hunters who are trying to stop Sebastian. The wizard, Kim, is a likeable character. Unfortunately, she peeters out and is basically dropped by the end of the book. Readers who are invested in that part of the plot will find that disappointing. Readers will also be hoping for a happy ending, as Leonard does, but it just doesn't happen. It's a long spiral into a world of insanity and despair.

The Medium is a paranormal psychological thriller that has a lot of good qualities. There are memorable moments, interesting characters, and plot twists. The psychological aspect of the book is very interesting. It's definitely not a light read, and may leave readers feeling emotionally drained. The Medium is for those who enjoy dark, paranormal novels.

The Medium Liminality Volume 1 MR Graham 9780615800790 Books Reviews

This is a newer take on a much written about subject which covers a few different paranormal genres quite well. M.R. is definitely an excellent author that knows how to weave a web around his authors. The book has a good pace to it with constant changes that work well of each other. The overall feel of the book feels a bit hopeless though.

M.R. did an excellent job in developing Lenny's character. You really feel like you know him, well until you read the next book which shows that you haven't learnt everything yet. He is a complete anti hero and you can't help but feel for him and his difficulties. The ending was a little surprising and sad.

Kim is more of a heroine than Lenny would be and really complements him well. Her friends are also good additions to this book and make sense.

I find, especially after reading Mora, that this is more like an introduction to a series that is rather captivating. There are many well developed twists that move the story along beautifully.

I have received this book from the author for an honest review.
The concept sounded intriguing in summary form, but the actual writing has me going a little crazy. From the concepts with only She/Him for pronouns to the stuttering of a damaged vampire, the writing just wasn't strong enough to hold me until pieces started making sense.

I would suspect for stronger fans of the vampire genre they might be more interested in this novel. Just not for me.
I am in love with Lenny the stuttering, electric blanket loving vampire. M.R. writes the only vampire stories I have loved since Anne Rice. Incredible.
Wow. THAT was a ride.

Dark, yes, but fascinating and very human. I'm not into vampire novels, but this one sucked me in and wouldn't let go. The worldbuilding spun a believable but rather enchanting web, while the characters were lively and developed, the kind of people I would definitely follow through a whole series.

Structurally, the book was a little confusing, especially in the second half after the main character plots diverged and new major characters were introduced ... but that's excusable in a serial book. I still have some questions that need answered, so hopefully those will come up in the sequel. )

Overall, it was a riveting story with very good writing and memorable characters. All the important stuff, you know? I was impressed!
The Medium #1 - My first read by Ms. Graham, and I liked and hated it. I'm bored by most vampire stories but this finely crafted story kept my interest, although I had to take two weeks to read it. It's wordy with repetition and I needed breathers from the intensity and darkness. Ms. Graham took several themes and combined them into a substantial read using vampires, ghosts, mediums and a few other paranormals. Add heavy doses of insanity, cruelty (nothing graphic), loyalty and other thought/behavior patterns, coupled with a large range of emotions. The characters develop throughout the story adding to the tapestry of the storylines. Ms. Graham took several common, overused themes and made them fresh and original. Imagine a vampire/medium as a kidnap victim. The reader actually feels sorry for him as well as frustrated by his thoughts and actions. The vivid descriptions place the reader in the story without any graphic, gory details. There's room for how gory the reader wants the violence. The dialog is well written and it's wonderful to find a book that's properly edited. Clean with no vulgar language. 4*

The Mora #2 - This book starts six years after The Medium ends and was much easier to read. This book, like the first, has great storylines and characters that make reading the series interesting and substantial. Some of the characters that were dropped along the lines in Medium are back continuing beside new characters. More of the paranormals are added to the mix and there's travel outside of TX and MA. This book does better with the wordiness that I found with Medium. There's still the psychology and originality with the storylines and characters. Clear, vivid descriptions, good dialog and clean with no vulgar language. I contacted the author to review her books after reading The Medium. 4*

The Mage #3 - This book starts with Kim's past in 1985. Without giving away spoilers since this is a review and not a book report, The Mage continues with the interesting storylines, the strongly defined characters and the intrigue and psychology. Well written and well edited; clean with no vulgar language; vivid descriptions kept the reader immersed in the pages. While The Medium took me a long time to read, The Mage flowed quickly but I'm also heavily invested in the series by now. I contacted the author to review her books and received this book through Booksprout. 4*
