I really enjoyed this book. At first I wasn't sure due to it was a little slow moving in the beginning but very quickly it picked up. There were a lot of twists I wasn't expecting and I loved the mystery of it all. I loved the writing and characters and I felt for the "vampires" along with the main character and her family. Overall I enjoyed this story and will be reading the 2nd one very soon :)

Lady Georgiana is invited to a castle in Transylvania to be a royal representative at a wedding. But once she gets there, she sees stuff that seems to involve vampires. And that's before someone drops dead. What's really happening? Plenty of fun as always, although the book does have a bit of a slow start.

It was fun. I did not chose to finish it, but that is because there was so much to it that I lost interest after playing it for many many days. I like the fact you can go around trying to cure all of whitechapel and how this effects the story slightly.

I adore this series of books, Rachel Caine is a very talented author. I love how different the vampires in her series act from the ones in other books I've read, they're not to be admired and loved, they're to be feared. The main character Claire is definitely how you'd imagine a begrudged hero if the day and the relationships built between all the characters makes you feel like you're part of it as you read.

Maine style Dracula
2nd book from the great man based around vampires. Good story with decent characters and King already has found the ease of a seasoned writer as you are hooked very early on. As usual the book is better than the movie/TV series although that's worth a watch as it has David Soul (70's heart throb from Starsky & Hutch)as one of the leads.

I'm someone who prefers vampires to werewolves so I got really into this book. I think it can be put down to the build up of the relationship between between kane and caitlin. The crazy sexual tension that kept building...jeez!
Admittedly the lack of trust and the thinking one wanted to kill the other got a little annoying by the end but I'm glad they got a happy ending.
I wouldn't mind continuing the series.

A collection of short stories involving vampires. Who doesn’t love vampires. These are the legitimate kind though so no sparkles. I enjoyed the twist in history. To give a reason for blood lust.
Natural Born Predators was awesome. The Beauty and The Beast with a vampire twist. Belle is no damsel in distress. She is a hard core vampire hunter. She is lethal and hot. Frey is a god with the power to control the weather around his castle. He imprisoned Bell's father for trespassing. What he wasn’t expecting was this beauty to come and calm his world. He knows he can’t change who Bell is but can he accept the thought of her always putting her life at risk.
All the stories were really good. It would be awesome to read full length novels of Fate and Fortune and Natural Born Predators. To get more details on the love stories and how the lives of the people effected turned out. To see that not all stories have a HEA.

Devi ( Matefinder book 2)
By Leia Stone
When Aurora found out that the vampires were after her blood to procreate, she thought she knew her mission. Take out the vampires and live happily ever after with Kai and their pack. But when the witches discover something about her, everything changes. Maybe Aurora doesn’t have as much control over her fate as she thought and sometimes allies become enemies. Aurora and Kai must defy all odds if their future is to end in happiness.
This is the second in this series and I loved it more than the first. We catch up with Aurora and Kai and get to see them married and mated fully despite everyone trying to capture or kill her. Leia writes a very easy to follow story as well as building her world and these characters up. They all have more depth than the first book. Aurora also goes on a spiritual trip of self discovery. Also the wolves are out of the closet so it will be interesting to see how the world responds!

Say what you want but a girl needs her share of brooding vampires and this shows provides just that. I knew the book but I wasn’t very keen to continue the series as I didn’t like reading from her POV, but I always loved the mythology the author built and a TV series is perfect for me.
The locations are amazing (even though I’ve never seen Venice so empty xD) and the story is compelling. Can’t wait for the second season!
