Paranormal Romance
Blurb
When 24 year old Rachel Landry, who suffers from a debilitating mental illness, receives a knock at her door one night from a stranger she gets an offer she can't refuse. The chance to live as a vampire, gaining eternal life and relative sanity seems like a great plan. Soon she comes to realize she has been turned for a specific purpose and her vampire existence may be short lived. Also the handsome stranger may not be as much of a stranger as she thought. Facing her demons along with new enemies she must come to rely on her own strength to save her life, and the life of her new clan.
I gave it four and a half stars out of five.
Rachel is an adult who has been haunted by voices in her mind for years and made her different than those living in society. Her parents blamed all the stress on her which made her go into her shell and after their death, become a recluse. One night a hot guy knocks at her door asking for her help. She is compelled to follow him even though she knows it's stupid. Trust some random stranger when you live in an itty bitty town and know everyone? For some reason, she does.
Doing so changes her life completely as she finds out this mystery man is undead. A vampire. With the promise of finally silencing the voices in her head, she decides to be changed into a vampire as well. Rachel is a strong woman who takes everything in stride. And the man who changed her, Gavin, is a total sweetheart who will do anything to protect her. Rachel is the key to a clan's survival as those voices turn out to be a gift of hearing someone's thoughts. A huge fight is coming but can she master her skills in time to help them out? Or will she just drag the clan down as a newbie vamp?
I could not put this book down! It flowed well, teleporting you into their world. And Jessica's perception of vampires? I adored it! Violent, beautiful creatures who respect human life but aren't above taking a person or two out. The rules of this new world are interesting; you learn not only about vampires, but Satyrs and Nymphs as well.
And the romance! I could gush about it forever!
My only complaint is how Rachel seemed to forget about something incredibly important about halfway through. I can't go into too much detail at the risk of revealing spoilers, but it's something I (if I were in her shoes) would have remembered even when times got tough.
The book ended nicely, no questions left for me to wait around for the answers to. Now, I'm not sure if this is going to be a series, but even without a cliffhanger I could totally see another book coming out for the Vampires of Soldier's Cove. In fact, I insist she writes more about them!
Jessica is a fantastic author who puts romance and gore together for something new and refreshing. She has a way to capture you in a spell and enthrall you until the very end of her books. She has quickly become one of my favorite authors!
For 99 cents this book is a steal and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new twist on romance and vampires!
