Download As PDF : No Man Land An Imp World Novel eBook Debra Dunbar 
Kelly’s family has beaten her nearly to death, yanked her fangs and discarded her in West Virginia - a buffer zone between two contentious vampire families. It’s impossible for a vampire to survive in exile, especially without fangs. Desperate, Kelly will do anything to convince her family to take her back.
Jaq’s werewolf pack calls West Virginia their territory. They keep it that way by killing every vampire that crosses the border from either side. When she finds a vampire abandoned and dying, she throws caution to the winds and nurses her back to health. Now Jaq’s in the difficult position of keeping Kelly safe from her own pack until the vampire is allowed back into her family.
But the vampire factions are on the warpath, and the werewolf territories are smack in the middle. Both Jaq and Kelly must make allies of old enemies to protect what’s theirs and to carve out a family that's more than blood.

No Man Land An Imp World Novel eBook Debra Dunbar
Though I enjoyed reading this new and very unique story, after finishing the book, I was left with far to many unanswered question. Since this is a novel, I do not think that I should have been left with near as many questions as I still have. The book was quite confusing, leaving the readers to make assumptions on too many matters regarding the characters, their way of life, and even some historical points on their very makeup. "No Man's Land" is a very dramatic book, often highly overdone. Many scenes in the book were abrupt or downright unnecessary to the book or plot line. I didn't see much growth in the storyline or characters, besides Kelly, who seemed to make a complete 180 in regards to her attitude and moral outlook on life.That was something else that seemed to be stressed in the book, almost overly much; the focus on morality was very abundant. The characters were constantly discussing the rights and wrong of every given situation. Not that it was necessarily a bad thing, but it made the book seem more a lecture on making good choices and following the moral code than the entertaining tale about a woman learning the meaning of family and self-sacrifice that I thought it was meant to be.
Overall, it was an interesting enough book, but I'm not so sure what the (for lack of a perry term) point was to this book. I'm not entirely sure what the author was hoping to accomplish, and I'm not sure what we as readers are supposed to take from it. The overall uncertainty this book left me with, I think, is its greatest downfall, and I can't help coming away from this book disappointed and wanting more. I am glad, however, that this is only a novel, so that I do not have to continue on with further the books only to leave disappointed time and again.

No Man Land An Imp World Novel eBook Debra Dunbar Reviews
I love love LOVE Debra Dunbar!!! She's sassy, foul-mouthed and irreverent, just my kinda gal! Having said that, I REALLY hope she continues with this storyline. Kelly is one of my favorite characters in recent memory, complex, intelligent and with a whole lot of potential. She starts out a little wimpy, but it made her gradual transition into the tough-girl vamp even more satisfying. I'm off to beg Ms. Dunbar to keep going with her!
Other reviewers have indicated that they don't like the "moralizing," but my take on this is a bit different I look at the storyline as an example of people making decisions that lead to creating and supporting their own family of choice, rather than continuing to bang her head against the wall that is her family of origin, an abusive family that could only bring her grief.
While this is an Imp World novel, the Imp herself is nowhere to be seen. This book features the exiled vampire, Kelly, and the nephilim, Jaq. After being defanged and beaten to within an inch of her unlife, Kelly is dumped and left for dead amid the werewolves of West Virginia. Jaq takes pity on the wounded Kelly and attempts to nurse her back to health, knowing next to nothing about actual vampire physiology. For her part, Kelly just wants to regain enough strength to figure out a way to ingratiate her way back into the family that dumped her. With a vampire war brewing on their borders the werewolves need to decide whether to trust an unlikely ally and Kelly needs to decide if she can revamp her definition of family.
While I did enjoy the book, as it added more background to the characters we've seen in the Imp series, I felt it was a bit slow paced. The beginning started out excellently, it was very attention grabbing. Then as Kelly lived among werewolf territory, she had a lot of internal struggles going on. Throughout the book until about a third of the way through, I didn't think she made too much progress.
It was enjoyable in certain parts, and while the potential of romance was there, by the end of the book I was a bit disappointed that Kelly and Jaq's romance wasn't fully embraced, it was only hinted at.
Overall, I'd recommend reading if you've read the Imp series and know who Kelly the vampire is. I did like the book, just not as much as I've enjoyed others by Debra Dunbar.
Okay, honesty first I only ordered this because of the author. I had not read anything of hers before this one that I didn't like so I took a chance... sort of. I got a sample and by the time I had finished it, I still wasn't sold on it but I considered her track record and ordered it.
It took my to the halfway mark before I figured out there was going to be a Dunbar development. I had an inkling about one character and I made a guess about the other. Turns out I was 2/3 right with my guesses. My guess to order the book was spot on and I got it right about one character. The other character did not turn out like I thought but turned out to be something different. Different in a good way.
So what's the end point? If you like Debra Dunbar, you will like this. If you want something a little different from her, you will really like this because the pace is definitely different. But in the end, it's typical Debra Dunbar - Excellent! Fully worthy of 5 stars. And one thing about it - you can buy this one and not think you're missing something even if you have not read any of her other works.
No Man's Land (Imp World #3) by Debra Dunbar is a darker book than the other imp books but I loved almost as much. Kelly is a vamp and loses her temper where she works, and she works for the vamps. She got made at a demon causing trouble. The vamps beat her so severely then drop her off in werewolf territory and make bets on how long she will live. A kind women there knows what she is and knows if her pack finds her that will kill her so she takes her in and helps her. But as soon as she is partly healed, her pack alpha wants her gone or dead, her vamp master wants her to spy on the rival vamps on the other side of the weres, and the rival vamps have caught scent of her. From there, boy is she is deep trouble, like she wasn't before! Action packed, dangerous to turn the pages, and loving every minute!
Though I enjoyed reading this new and very unique story, after finishing the book, I was left with far to many unanswered question.
