I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. When I picked it up I thought, what can be new about vampires.
And the answer is not much.
Meaning, it was refreshing to have a vampire book where the vampires were actually bad. Were actually pretty much how I always thought of them. When I thought of them.
They drink blood. Human blood, they kill, they are not good, they are evil. Garlic, sunlight, holy water, crosses, etc, etc.
I loved the spin on this story though.
They run this town and you have to have protection from one of them so your family doesn’t get taken.
But it’s also a college town so they are fair game.
I really enjoyed Claire’s character, she seems a little meek but when you push her hard enough she pushes back and I loved it.
The other main characters are pretty cool too. I love Eve’s soft heart, Michael’s protectiveness, and Shane’s, well, Shane being Shane.
I am getting ready to pick up books two, it wasn’t in when I picked up the others. So hopefully in the next week or so I’ll have more from this series.
I love finding a series I haven’t read yet, especially when there are so many books because then I don’t have to wait to find out what happens.
And I have an idea of what’s happening with Michael, but I can’t wait to see how accurate I am.
Great series if you like em dark, funny, with a smidge of romance and danger.
"Damn, Claire. Warn a guy before you do a face-plant on the floor next time. I could have looked all heroic and caught you or something -Shane"
"Claire. Wake up.” She blinked and realized that her head was on Shane’s shoulder, and Michael was nowhere to be seen. Her first thought was, Oh my God, am I drooling? Her second was that she hadn’t realized she was so close to him, snuggled in. Her third was that although Michael’s part of the couch was empty, Shane hadn’t moved away. And he was watching her with warm, friendly eyes. Oh. Oh, wow, that was nice."
"Okay, this was kissing. Serious kissing. Not just a kiss before moving out, not a good-bye, this was Hello, sexy, and wow, she’d never even suspected that it could feel this way.
""You're kidding. I thought all geniuses read Latin. Isn't that the international language for smart people?"-Shane
"That's kind of a leap, but the Russian judge gave you a nine point five for style, so okay."
