Published: December 9th 2012
Book Description
Her blood is toxic to vampires.
If there is one thing eighteen-year-old Aurora Sky wants, it’s to get off the iceberg she calls home. Being kissed before she graduates wouldn’t hurt either.
Then a near-fatal car wreck changes everything. Secret agents step in and save Aurora’s life in exchange for her services as a vampire hunter. In Alaska.
Basically she’s a glorified chew toy. All thanks to her rare blood type, which sends a vampire into temporary paralysis right before she has to finish the job… by hand.
Aurora is alienating friends at school while attracting attention from the last person she wants noticing her – the dark prince of temptation himself: Fane Donado. And that can’t lead to anything good.
This is a Young Adult paranormal urban fantasy romance with mild language, violence, and sexual situations. Recommended for ages 15+.
My Review
I was
intrigued by the book description and decided to sign up for the book tour and
do a review. So it was a bit of a surprise as to how blown away I was by the
storyline that I read the whole book in one morning!! It was an amazing book!!
The way the Vampires are created and also the Vampire Hunters, was a new little
twist for me (as I have read A LOT of Vampire books!). And to put an 18 year
old girl into the mix who only wants to be a normal girl and do normal things, kept
me captivated until the final page in the book.
Right
from the beginning I liked Aurora. She has her life set out for her; she is
doing well at school, has already been accepted to Notre Dame College and will
finally be getting out of Alaska. She came across as the good girl that could
do anything and never causes trouble. After her accident her attitude is
totally different and she has a more care-free approach about life. She decides
that she is not going to let life pass her by and decides to write herself a
small bucket list of things to do before she dies……
Kill
first Vampire
Get
drunk
Kiss
a boy
Lose
virginity
Sounds
like a good list to me!! Lol! Aurora is determined to get through the list and
thinks it will make her a better person. Before the accident, she didn’t have
many friends and even after she returned her friend Denise still shuns her and
I felt bad for Aurora. She quickly makes some new friends and finally has found
her place, so it was nice to see her happy for a change.
There is
a boy in Auroras Gym class, Fane, which she has always thought attractive. He
has shown no interest in her before, but now that she has returned to school he
seems to be appearing whenever she goes out. The more time they spend together,
the harder it is for her to resist him. They don’t appear to have much
chemistry in the beginning but it soon builds and it becomes undeniable. Fane
turns out to be quite a gentleman and goes out of his way to do nice things for
Aurora and I think that’s what made me like him so much, because he made Aurora
feel special. His dress sense may be a bit unusual and Aurora’s mother
certainly did not approve, but you cannot judge a book by its cover!! I would
have Fane any day!
The
Government was able to fix Aurora
after her accident and they have plans for her to serve her country. She needs
to complete some tasks for them even though she doesn’t want to. They end up
sending her a mentor, Dante, to help her adapt to her new life style. Together
they complete a mission in Fairfield and he becomes like a brotherly figure for
her. All this secrecy has her thinking of Fane and she doesn’t know how to
juggle her two lives and she has to make some decisions that will be the best
for her in the long run.
I was
sucked into this story almost immediately and I just couldn’t put the book
down. With each little twist in the book I was glued to the pages. Nikki
Jefford has written a remarkable story and left me hanging on the final page!!
I loved both Aurora and Fane and even some of the other characters gave great
spice to the story too. Aurora’s new life is just beginning and I can’t wait to
see what happens to her now!!
