For Emily Waters, a nature-loving, small-town girl with an overprotective father, heading off to Boston University to study conservation biology is a dream come true—until a chance encounter catapults her into a mythical world she'd do anything to escape.The latest victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice.
While preparing for the unimaginable life she must now embrace, clues soon emerge that Emily may not be entirely human, and her physical transformation awakens goddess-like powers that her new family cannot begin to explain.
Dealing with her human first love, the not-so-platonic relationship with her coven "sister," and her new vampire sort-of-boyfriend further complicates matters, not to mention being secretly hunted by the psychopaths who attacked her. And as the only known offspring of a once all-powerful race, the climactic battle is just the beginning of her journey.
This was a fantastic book, it had me in tears of laughter more than once. The characters were easy to relate to, especially Emily as the book is told mostly from her point of view. It was really well written and captured my attention from the very beginning.
The prologue leaves you intrigued and even a little confused as there are seemingly main characters that are left without names and is very action packed. I know some people wouldn't like that the prologue is confusing but I thought it worked well and definitely left me eager to read more.
I liked the fact that the 'Vampire Curse' was explained solely as a disease, instead of leaning toward the traditional supernatural explanation of vampirism as it was a refreshing change. I have read a few other books that try to explain vampirism as a disease but they are few and far between and none that I have read explain it as well as CM Michaels does here.
My only criticism would be how the book ended, I won't go into too many details as I don't want to reveal any spoilers, but to me it just seemed a strange place to end the book. It wasn't bad by any means, I just thought it was strange.
I would recommend this book to anyone who likes paranormal/romance books and is probably over the age of 16 as there are a few sex scenes and some quite strong language.
