Virginia native Txema Ybarra is a typical nineteen-yr-old college student at the University of Tennessee. Or so she thought. Then the attacks started. Women who fit her description were being brutally murdered and the closer the killers get to her location the more nervous she becomes. Handsome, mysterious strange men visiting her at night don’t help the situation. Txema has no idea that she’s at the heart of a war between the vampires and the undead rogues. But she’s about to find out and fast.

I have to admit to being disappointed in this book. The concept sounded new and fresh, but the execution left much to be desired. The pacing was all over the place, at times plodding along with too much detail and then bam! Flying along and barely touching on the events that were happening. Sometimes too much detail and sometimes not enough. And don’t get me started on Txema. I completely disliked her. She calls herself stubborn, I call her TSTL. She grated on my nerves so much that I reached the point where I hoped she would die. The rest of the characters are flat. I cared for none of them. While I won’t be continuing with this series, I do want to try other works by this author because I’ve read Fractured Earth, The Actuator, #1 that he’s written with James Wymore and I enjoyed it.

It got off to a slow and mysterious start though I like where the author is going with the two types of vampires I am feeling a little on the side of Twilight some as I read where this is heading only in shorter chapters and a little bit more of an adult theme. The story is drawn out and I wish that the author would have put more into it than just the hurried coupling at the end and the beginning of Txema’s next steps to keep her bloodline alive. I think she to willingly agreed to be what she was and wished there had been a little more controversy about the whole thing instead of the awkward seeming love quad that was going on between Txema, her human boyfriend, A vampire and an Immortal.

Though the book was good and I suggest all to pick it up and read it I don’t feel it was really my cup of tea and hold a little bit of hope that perhaps the next one will be worth picking it up and reading it. For now I have to wait and see. ( )
