Enjoyment: 3.83Quality: 3.83Characters: 3.67Plot: 3.67

Waking a monster from its sleep is never a good idea. Skye Carter is as normal as normal can be. But when she chances upon a man in the basement of an abandoned Hollywood Hills house, she’s suddenly playing tour guide, and introducing a fifteen-hundred-year-old vampire to this century. And who even knows what’s going on with her teeth. The truth is, immortality can get old—which is why Lucas Thorne went to sleep for seventy years. But he’s back and ready to take on undead enemies and friends alike. In a world where threatening creatures roam the night streets, he’s the most dangerous of them all.

    This is shorter than most vampire books. Not a bunch of world-building on the front end; the reader learns as the newly turned Skye does. Things move fast. The ancient, sleeping vampire is awakened within the first chapter, and Skye is turned in that same time frame. Not a lot of depth, but I found this book fun. The chemistry between Skye and Lucas doesn’t come off the page as I’m used to with this author, but I enjoyed all the little things Lucas did that made it obvious he was enamored with Skye while he acted so calm and in control. Of course, that made things confusing for poor Skye the newborn vampire. Lucas’s other “children” are a hoot. They helped to bring this book alive and helped fill in a lot of gaps about the vampire world. I’m not sure if the author is going to make this a series, but this book reminded me of the type of story you see as an introductory novella (although it’s too long to be a novella) to a series. For being just under 200 pages, there are a lot of people introduced on the periphery of Skye’s world, as well as the “siblings” she now has. What it all comes down to is I had fun with this book. It’s nothing earth-shattering, but it’s a quick and interesting read.
