Rating 8/10

Never has a book deserved the words "action packed" more! What a roller-coaster of events!

What I enjoyed about this novel was the fact that it played in my head like a movie. The characters were believable, mythology understandable and there were twists and turns around every corner.

The Author being male only helped this novel. He made fight scenes and car chasing scenes believable and understandable. How many times have I read a fight scene where you are not sure what is happening and just go through it to see the end result? Too many to mention. But not this one!

Definitely a must read if you are tired of paranormal romance and love triangles of which this book has none. Thank the heavens!

It has a kick-ass heroine that has lost some motivation along the way, which only makes her human. She makes mistakes which is always a welcome change from the "I am the perfect heroine" scenario. Each character has depth and they are all fascinating!

I can't wait to find out what happens to Cheryl and I hope we get to see more of Rev.

Keep an eye out for "Lauren and Lu's Review" on this novel.

I haven’t really read a lot of the paranormal genre however I loved this book. It was so fast paced that I was gripped reading faster that I probably should off to find out what was going to happen next.

One moment I would think I knew what was going to happen next then I would turn the page and be shocked by another twist. This book definitely keeps you on your toes. The characters are so well developed and each character has a specific role to play in the novel. The author skills shine through as he makes you believe that this world actually exists and this to me is always a sign of a wonderful book.

I really enjoyed this book and believe that a series could be made out of it which I would really want to read. Defiantly recommended to fans of the paranormal genre.

As I have seen in other reviews the reference to Buffy I'm glad I never had the occassion to review with that comparison. I was lucky enough to win this book to reviews. The book was well paced and moved along nicely without drying up with unneeded filler or details. I agree at times the outcome of scenes and scenarios was predictible. There were some new twists on the Vampire Legend and was nice to discover them. I can say the best thing is that when finished I was looking forward to finding out more of the main character in her mission and life as well. Can't go wrong in picking this book up to read if a Vampire Fan.… (plus d'informations)

This is the first book I received to review and I count myself lucky. It was quick paced and well written. I enjoyed the main character Cheryl. She is a tough women who is still able to show weakness thus making her a well round character that you come to like. The aurthor did a good job adding depth to all characters. The book flowed smoothly, but ended with some questions unanswered. I hope this means a sequel and look forward to reading it.
