Disclaimer: I received an e-copy in exchange for an honest review.

Anala is a Hunter, the child of the Leaders of their society, and she's one of the best. Too bad her parents never let her go out and actually hunt any Cursed Ones. One night, she and her friend Thomas are out, and his sister scares them. When Thomas leaves Anala behind to take his sister home, she lets her guard down for one minute; however, that's all it takes. She's bitten, and her life will change forever.

This story pulled me in from the very first sentence. Everybody loves a good vampire story, but this was more than that. It was a coming-of-age story, of sorts, mixed with a little romance, some intrigue, and some good old-fashioned butt kicking. I'm fond of all the characters, even Jenna (the proverbial sour grape), and I would definitely love to read more about this group. I really hope there's a sequel already in the works!!

5 stars =)

Relatable

I absolutely LOVED this book!

I absolutely LOVED this book!

Piper and Roman we're perfection, there story was very believable despite the fact that it was a tad cliche, but maybe that's exactly what made it so amazing.

I started reading this book last night around ten and had to literally force myself to close the book and go to sleep at 4 am. Soon as I woke up I picked it up again and finished it and I was not dissapointed.

Piper is a relatable character, the fact she loves rom-coms and John Cusack is her favorite (because he's also mine) made for a connection to her that I rarely get with characters. This story was my high school fantasy and it was written out beautifully.

Honestly, I can't rave about this book enough. I will be re-reading it because this is my new rom-coms read and I can't wait to see Piper and Roman again.

A charming story

A lovely, magical book about a swan that crashes through Mitzi's flat window during a storm, and then at dusk turns into a young woman. This is a reworking of the Swan Princess/ Swan Lake, or rather a 'what would happen if her spell lasted for over 100 years'?
The Princess, Odette, is naive, even though she is over 100 years old (being a swan for half of your time and living in the woods on your own, will do that to a person, I suppose), and adjusting to life in the modern age is quite hard for her. She is adamant that she needs to find a man to love her to break the spell, and Mitzi just wants to protect her and help her where she can.
I really enjoyed this story, which is rich in magical realism. The contrast of old magic and modern British life, made it on the whole quite believable, really!
Many thanks to The Pigeonhole for the chance to read this story on their social platform!

The story captures you and keeps you entangled until the very end. As the plot unfolds between Rock Star Zac, with Doctor Reed and his sidekick Magnum, your drawn Into their worlds, making It hard to put this book down as you want to devour more. Seeing how the characters deal with the drama amongst Zac's Ex-Boyfriend Troy, along with the paparazzi, the hot headed publicist, and many others engulfs you, wanting to see how they will tackle the dilemmas and get on with their lives. Granted, the hot, Intense, love making scenes adds some nice bonus flair, but It doesn't draw away from the story. It adds the fuel to keep the story burning, making you want even more. I was really pleased with the outcome of this book and looking forward to the next Installment. This Is my first read from this author and without a doubt, won't be my last. Highly recommend giving this a read!

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book from HRG.
