I might have liked Joss much better. Or at least understood him.By Ryan Burt1) Rating: 4 out of 5 stars2) Genre: Young Adult / Paranormal3) Synopsis: Joss Macmillan experiences something horrible and with that his life changes. With that change he gets on the path to become a Slayer. The only question is if he has the stuff to become a Slayer.4) Feelings: This is a partner book to the Vladimir

2. Tod series. I really liked the Vladimir Tod series but was never the biggest fan of Joss Macmillan. So I fought picking this book up for a while. I am glad I did. I liked this book and if I had read it along side of the Vladamir Tod ones I might have liked Joss much better. Or at least understood him.5) Final recommendation: If you like the Vladamir Tod series i would certainly read this book. If you have never read the Vladamir Tod series you could still read this book and enjoy it. A good read with some interesting plot points to resolve in the future. I will certainly read the next book in this series.Ryan James BurtHusband, Father, and Writer[...]0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The Slayer Chronicles: First Kill or Why Heather Brewer ROCKS!By MandeeI'm a huge Vlad fan! I totally LOVED all of Heather Brewer's The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod books! It was super sad to read the last in the series.But, as usual, Heather Brewer doesn't disappoint her minions!In The Slayer Chronicles, she tells the story from Joss McMillian the Slayers' point of view.It doesn't just work--it ROCKS!So many times while reading First Kill I was like, "Oh, oh, I know...this is xyz from Vlad! Awesome!" And it was awesome! And the coolest thing is that you could start with Vlad or Joss and be equally as hooked! Have I mentioned how freaking cool this is? I mean, really, it is total author genius here! For real life!OK, but what's the big deal? Well, Joss is a regular kid who is about to go hang out with his awesome cousin for the summer. Then his sister gets killed. In the middle of the night. By a vampire! At the funeral, his creepy uncle tells him to swear that he'll avenge her death. He swears. Fast forward a few years and we learn that, understandably, Joss and his parents have never recovered from the loss. Joss is ignored by his parents, who have just been coasting on auto-pilot since his sister's murder. So when that creepy Uncle Abraham asks for Joss to spend the summer with him doing wilderness survival training, the whole McMillan family goes for it. It is in the mountains that he learns the truth behind the Slayer Society and begins his crazy often cruel training. Through Joss, we learn the flip side. Not as much vampires are so awesome, but more of a awww, poor Slayers kind of sympathy. But the way that Joss looks at the world with compassion, empathy, and hatred totally works. Come on, how many people can pull that off?Bottom line: If you loved Vlad, you'll love First Kill. If you haven't met Vlad yet, then you can start with either series (but if you are impatient like me, go for Vlad first because that series has more books!).First Kill (The Slayer Chronicles)0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. My review for the first Book of The Slayer ChorniclesBy Rachel MeyerI read the Vladimir Tod series, and LOVED IT. My 8th grade Language Arts teacher she has the first Book, I own the whole series. When I finished the first book of the Vladimir Tod she said and I quote "You love those books don't you Rachel." I said "Of course I did. They are a vampire book, and I love vampire books." It seemed like I finished a book or 2 every weekend. Since I am solo busy I only have time to read on the weekends. The reason why I gave this book 5 stars is because it was well detailed and right when I started reading the book I got lost in the book. Meaning I was in the book. I would recommend this book to my 8th grade Language Arts teacher. What I really liked about this book is that it talked about Joss the slayer and how he became the slayer. And how he met Vladimir and how his sister died. That is what I really liked about that book. Thanks Heather Brewer. The first book in the fantastic new series from the creator of The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod--now in paperback! Over a million readers have heard Vlad Tod's story; now it's time to hear Joss's. When Joss McMillan witnesses his sister's murder--at the hands of a vampire--his whole life changes. He learns that not only is his family part of the Slayer Society, a group whose mission is to rid the world of vampires, but he is their new recruit. As Joss trains he discovers powers that could make him the youngest, strongest Slayer in history. But there is a traitor in the Society, one whose identity would shake Joss to the core . . . if the traitor doesn't kill him first. Written from the perspective of Vlad's former friend turned mortal enemy--vampire slayer Joss McMillan--this is the first in a series of five books that can be read alongside Vlad Tod or entirely on their own. "Readers who still have an appetite for vampire lore, and a willingness to enter what looks to be like another fairly well-written series, will appreciate Joss as a character who is both sensitive and brave, as well as smart."
