ABOUT THE BOOK -

MY REVIEW -

This book was pretty good. It was fun to read and I did really get into the characters, they were all very likable. While this was not the best paranormal I have ever read, it was definitely worth the read.

This is what I would call a lighter Vampire story, not dark and scary but fun and quirky. This was not real feeling, because it is not meant to be.  I have to admit, I do like these kind of Vampire books better, usually (maybe a few exceptions - one being "Nightlife").

And... No icky Vampire sex! Yay, thank you Christine! This is a pretty clean book actually.
This story was a good escape from the crazy reality of life. - So if that is the kind of book you are looking for this would be perfect.

This is the first book I have read by Christine and I do think I would read another.

There are tons of cute lines! But I will try to limit myself -

"I hadn't brought my Kindle because I had expected this to be a twenty minute job, so I pulled out my cell phone and sent random text messages to my friends." I just thought this was so funny!

"The entire family was gathered in the kitchen, where mom was brewing some kind of potion in a cauldron on the stove." LOL

"The Vampire must have killed me, but as I slowly blinked back into awareness, I was struck by how painful death felt. People always describe it as a release from pain, an end to normal, human suffering, and yet there I lay, weak, nauseated, and with a throbbing in my head that made it difficult to think...

..."Am I alive?" my voice creaking.
