Anna Applegate

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

She thinks she’s a normal college Senior. He knows she’s anything but. Ariya Adams has no idea she’s descended from blood so powerful and rare that her life is infinitely more precious than any ordinary woman’s—especially to James Rymer. James enters her life and stirs up feelings she can’t explain. He becomes a part of her world almost overnight, but Ariya senses he’s hiding something, and she’s determined to figure out what it is. When “normal” becomes a thing of the past and fantasy enters Ariya’s reality, she’s soon faced with dangerous revelations, the least of which is that everyone she loves has been keeping secrets from her. With a paranormal evil she’s only beginning to comprehend threatening her and her friends, Ariya will have to choose between duty and love. Through it all, she’ll learn to never underestimate the power of blood. Read the series fans are calling “captivating,” “page-turning” and “not your typical vampire story.”

    I received this book in exchange for an honest review by the Author.

    This book did start off slow for me, but once things started to happen I was fully engaged.

    We have romance, secrets and forbidden feelings. Sounds right up my alley!

    Ariya is entering her senior year of college. She might think this will be just a year to catch up with her friends and prepare for graduation, but she doesn't know how her world is about to change. 

    I liked Ariya as the main character. She was easy to relate to.

    There was quite a bit of angst between her and James that kind of got to me at times but I got over it. I was just having kind of like a get together already moment because there was so much sexual tension between them.

    I liked that this book showed a healthy friendship and had amazing side characters! It was great to see such a good group of friends and their interactions. 

     I highly recommend if you are into paranormal romance! I can't wait to see where this story goes.
