Summary:
I should have known when he walked into my life that things would never be the same. Hadn't I dreamed of him and the things he'd done before I was born? If only he weren't so fascinating, so beautiful, so much more than any other guy. Maybe then I could walk away.
Mairin Cote is a magnet for weird. Her dreams come true, she can see auras and her mother is in love with an angel. Now the monsters are finding her too. Vampires, demigods and werepanthers have flocked to this small town girl who must find a way to keep her family safe, love the man of her dreams, and navigate the shark-infested waters of Highland Home High School.
My Review:
Wow! This is almost the best vampire book I've read! It's a tie between Vampire Kisses and this!
I've never really been into the vampire phase that Twilight created, but this book really got me wanting to read more!
I love Mathias! He sounded so sweet and nice and caring. I really love his character! I love that the author also showed his back story too! Right from the beginning, we knew exactly what he was.
I was a bit confused about Mairin though. The book started off really quick. The author didn't really tell us much about Mairin. It was like one minute Mairin's doing this and then oh hey guys, did you know Mairin has premonitions? And then she didn't explain how or why she got them. She just said Mairin got premonitions. That's it.
Also, the story suddenly went from one day to six months later. How did that happen? Really. It did say it had been six months since that thing happened. The author didn't even say what happened in between the months.
You guys know I'm like this, but in the back of my head I was thinking, Hey..wouldn't it be cool if Mairin was actually Kathryn's reincarnation? That would explain why they're so alike! But nothing in this first book says anything about that. Oh well.
Overall, I really loved this! The author is really great at writing! I actually enjoyed this vampire book. I never really like reading vampire books, but this author was so good that I could actually endure reading this type of book! 4.5 Stars!
Emily, thank you so much for this lovely review. I'm so pleased you loved Mathias as much as I do!
