I loved this book! I've read many vampire books and this was something different for me. I got to know the characters really well and loved the world that was created. I really hope there is a 2nd book!!!

From the cover I wasn't sure what to expect, but the story was not nearly as dark as the cover image suggested.
A strong-willed woman in her twenties is sucked into a world of vampires she didn't know existed and finds that she too has special gifts. There is some romance, but I wouldn't call the book a romance overall. It is more about Alex's journey of self-discovery and learning about the vampires-- their history, society, conflicts, and individual personalities. Through this she gains a better understanding of herself, her childhood, and what her future might hold. The book is very character driven, with the majority of the story taking place in the country home of five vampires. There is lots of joking and verbal sparring between them, like a group of roommates in their twenties. There is relatively little actual action, and this book felt to me like the first in a series rather than a complete, stand-alone work. I hope this is the case! I feel like I now know the characters and would like to see what happens with everyone (especially Alex) next!

Meet Alex, a twenty-five year old high school teacher. She is fiercely independent and stubborn to boot. She has always felt as though she could tell when someone was upset, lying, or telling the truth, you know, just that gut feeling. What if the gut feelings she has are actually more than that? On one of her evening runs, Alex is attacked and dragged into an alley. She begins to get close to escaping when two more big guys enter the picture. She only remembers a little before there is nothing but blackness. When she awakens, she is surrounded by four men and one woman who she believes, Lord help her, are vampires. Certain she has lost her mind, she hears them telling her that not only are they vampires, but she is their Seer, someone who can sense the emotions of those around her. Alex is certain that she will awaken from this nightmare and find that she is at home in bed, but, after three days, she realizes she will have to accept these as truths. There is something else: one of her two brothers that she thought was dead, is alive and being held prisoner by another coven of vampires because of his Seer gift. Can Alex help save her brother and find herself in the process?

Give me more! This book is irresistible, and made me sad that it ended. Alex is conceived as a woman that most women want to be like. She is someone who accomplishes things that seem impossible. Laura Grimley spins a tale of suspense, pain, and yes ladies, a little bit of love. An enjoyable read from cover to cover. Ladies, grab yourself a good cup of tea and a cozy chair; you are going to want to get comfortable because you won’t want to put this one down.

I really enjoyed this book. It was fun without being goofy. I'm looking forward to finding out what else this writer will do.
