BLURB:

College is supposed to be a time of discovery, but Danielle Vaughn never imaged it would be like this: heightened senses, supernatural powers, and a sudden craving for human blood. Dani is a demi-vamp, the daughter of a human psychic and a vampire noble, a living secret kept hidden for twenty-one years.

As Dani’s heritage manifests itself, her thirst for blood is matched only by her hunger for Chase Diedrick. But as the son of the Vampire Council’s most powerful ruling family, Chase is already promised to another. Dani saw Council politics destroy her mother’s life; she won’t let the same thing happen to her. Besides, there’s no shortage of men who are eager to satisfy her every need, including the alluring vampire Kayden.

Unfortunately, Dani also has no shortage of enemies. Her heightened powers of telepathy and telekinesis attract the attention of a rogue vamp who preys on gifted vampires, absorbing their skills along with their lifeblood. Now, Dani must seek the Council’s help to quickly master her new vampire life…or risk losing it.

REVIEW

I absolutely adored this book! It was a different take on vampire life, which I embraced and enjoyed. You easily develop a love/hate relationship with all of the characters. Dani was so strong and powerful. It was great to see her learn, grow, and find herself. I love how sassy and smart she is. She was thrust into a world she never knew existed and I thought she handled it like a champ. I had a love/hate relationship with Chase in the beginning but by the end I absolutely loved him. He’s sweet, caring, loyal, and endearing. The one thing I didn’t care for was how Dani would sort of fall in and out of love with 2 different men. I understand her turmoil over it, but didn’t agree with her actions. I’m not a big fan of love triangles though. There was action, drama, romance, betrayal, lies, evil, mean girls… this book had it all. I felt an immediate connection to the story and characters. There seems to be mixed reviews on this one, but I thought it was great. The different twist on vampire life made it unique. Even though there is some adult content, I would still recommend this book to ages 16 or 17.
