3. Pearl Jones
(American Vampire)
Unfortunately, I haven’t had the chance to read a ton of American Vampire, but I love what I have read. The series focuses on the transitions of vampires to the new world and the birth of the new, super-powerful American Vampires, as opposed to the traditional European ones.
But, while the main character of the series is ostensibly the first American Vampire, Skinner Sweet, the character I actually wanted to put on this list was the protagonist of the first volume’s “A†Story: Pearl Jones. Pearl was an actress in 1925 Hollywood who was taken advantage of by a big shot movie star and wound up fed to vampires. Not a fun night, I’d assume.
After the legendary Skinner Sweet transformed her fully into a vampire, Pearl returned to life hell bent on revenge. She’s a badass, and her vampiric transformations are pretty terrifying. But it is at its heart a revenge story, and a fun one that I’d highly recommend to pretty much anyone. Hands-down great start to a series I need to check out more of.
