Grabbed my attention from the get go.
I've always had a strange fascination with vampires so when I found this book I was super excited. The story of Zoey Redbird and her learning how to be different while still trying to remain normal was very interesting to me. It's been a while since ive read it but I love the danger and adventures she goes on. I always felt like I related to her, being a sort of outcast in school and only having a small group of really close friends. I definitely recommend this series!

Couldn't put it down
Absolutely loved this book. Was recommended it by a friend, and I was a little sceptical to start with seeing as it is written for a younger audience, but I was not disappointed! Kept me interested and wanting to see what happens next with every page. Maybe it's the fact that its written for a younger audience that keeps you captivated, the excitement and discovery that keeps you wanting to read more. Trying not to spoil the plot at all, but if you like fantasy and vampires and you allow yourself to get lost in wonder then you will like this book.

Tempt the Stars (Cassandra Palmer, #6)

Tempt the Stars is great, even with the grief over one of my favourite characters. The way Cassie pulls Pritkin into her adventures despite his sentence of doom is run and heartbreaking.

We learn of a whole new side to the world, the witches and the Pythian court, which provides ana exciting more female empowerment. While vampires were quite gender neutral there was a heavy male presence and the mages were all male. Having the strong witches arrive and Cassie prove her place among them and growing and maturing in this book was an exciting turn that I look forward to in subsequent books.

So I finished an awesome paranormal two books so far series, [b:Captive|30830592|Captive|Jex Lane|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1467474117s/30830592.jpg|51425133] and [b:Sire|32721063|Sire|Jex Lane|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1477076298s/32721063.jpg|52587454] and hunted for something to read similar and noticed that pretty much all my kindle books were contemporary romances. Then I decided to scour Amazon for new paranormal reads and this was a freebie!!

I am so glad I downloaded it! I loved pretty much everything about it. It had vampires, romance, action, sexual tension... and then a little shocker at the end!

I really need to read the rest of this trilogy!

3.5 stars, mainly because Suzanne's books can be too long for my liking a lot of the time and because I got fed up of reading the sex scenes.

I'm pretty picky about my shifter books, preferring vampires to shapeshifters most days, and this one was good but I felt it went on too long.

Character wise I think I liked Marcus the most, though I couldn't really explain why. I also liked Dante. In fact, most of the guys were pretty cool but I did have favourites.

Other than wanting to read book 4, Marcus' book, I haven't decided if I want to read the rest of the series yet.

Steampunk vamp & werewolf fun
Gail Carriger's Parasol Protectorate series is absolutely brilliant, and this is the first in the series, following the soulless protagonist Alexia Tarrabotti on her adventures with vampires and werewolves in Victorian Britain, with twists and turns aplenty.

I listened to this via Audible, and really enjoyed it... So I'd urge anyone to pick up these books (either physical, or audiobook), as it's extremely enjoyable.

The style of writing is excellent, and Carriger has a wicked sense of humour.

I now need to start the Finishing School series!
