Genre: Paranormal Romance
Pages: 363
Source: The Book Depository
Release Date: November 2nd 2010
Publisher: Signet
Series Y/N: Yes
No. in Series: Book 1

Found: I bought this book online, off of The Book Depository. It had a wicked cool cover, and is dedicated to Ben Burnley and Breaking Benjamin... any books dedicated to a band that awesome has to be read by me!!!


Synopsis: Savannah's most unconventional tattoo artist, Riley Poe, lives on the edge. Now she's put over the edge when her younger brother is taken by a sinister cult led by vampires. Her only ally is the hot-tempered vampire Eli Dupre, attracted to Riley's beauty and rare blood type. To save her brother from certain un-death, Riley faces dangers she's never dreamed of, ruthless bloodthirsty enemies, and an evil of endless hunger that wants to devour it all...



My Review: I'm torn... on the one hand, I did really love this book, and have already ordered the next in the series. The characters are all brilliantly developed and are so real!!! The writing has such a unique style, and I love the way that Savannah is described. Every smell and every cobble stone is described brilliantly. Sometimes I could swear I smelled the salt water myself. Even all of Riley's clothes are described so well, down to the material of the collar she wears. But, and I know a lot of people are gunna wanna smack me around the head for this, it had a lot of points where I was like 'Wait a minute... Twilight'
