Sarah Dearly's positive attitude is waning. Perky and bubbly no longer describe her and frankly being a vampire is the least of her worries. Gideon Chase, leader of all vampire hunters, is being consumed by Hellfire and his only hope is that Sarah will bite him during a ritual under the full moon and turn him into a vampire. To ensure her help he has threatened to kill all the people she loves, inc. Thierry, her master vampire boyfriend and she has no doubt that he can and will do it. He has also demanded she break things off with Thierry and never see him again, which she pretends to do but it isn't easy to protect someone when you're forced to keep your relationship a secret. However Sarah isn't the pushover she used to be - in fact, she was recently cursed to be a nightwalker and when she removes the magical necklace that keeps her hungers in check, she's as dangerous as any blood-thirsty, horror-movie vampire and not just a girl-next-door with fangs. However, her nightwalker self is becoming dangerously attracted to Gideon. Can she cure herself of the curse in time to destroy Gideon and save her true love, so they can live happily together forever?

My thoughts:
I found that this was the last one, oh that is what I get for starting a series at book 4 ;) and then reading book 5. But at least I can go back and read the first one.
Where to start then. Our dear heroine Sarah is in trouble. In this book she has a dark side and a light side. The dark side is clearly an idiot so that is not the side to root for. As she has been cursed to be a bloodthirsty monster by a witch. I actually liked the bad side in a way too, it was a good bad side. And her true self is sad cos the evil guy made her break up with Thierry. Brooding ancient Thierry who is all hot..and well brooding.
As for the evil guy he is around quite a lot, Gideon, vampire hunter, ass and plagued by hell fire (he deserves it). But he is a charming snake and that makes it hard to hate him.
The action in this is all about Sarah being blackmailed by Gideon. Trying to survive with her curse, missing Thierry and happy banter with friends. Because the book is light and that is why I like it. Light paranormal works so well for me. I read them fast and they are relaxing for my brain.
Conclusion:

Light with a happy ending. All is well that ends well. Candy for the brain.
"Brooding ancient Thierry who is all hot..and well brooding."
ReplyDeleteI always go for the hot and brooding boys, so I think I'm going to like Thierry! Sounds like I should start with book one though!
Well you can do like I did ;) They can be read fairly good in which ever order. But yes starting at book 1 is best in the end
Deletehahaha, I love the title and the cover page. :D
ReplyDeleteThe title is just awesome!
DeleteLol, I have not read this series, but you make it sound fun and stupid at the same time. I do hate TSTL heroines though.
ReplyDeleteShe is not TSTL. She knows the guy is bad but she has a bad little vamp in her that wants to come out and play
DeleteCandy for the brain is a good thing sometimes.
ReplyDeleteIt sure can be :)
Deletethe cover is adorable! glad the story is lighthearted too.
ReplyDeleteAll of those things yes :)
DeleteWow, that cover is soooo different from the one on the book I read!
ReplyDeleteI know right, they sure are
DeleteI love the cover. I read the first book in a series by Michelle Rowan but never continued - I wonder if this is that series. I guess i'll have to check.
ReplyDeleteHm..I have read other books by Michelle Rowen..well at least one so I can't say
DeleteYou keep finding series I haven't started yet! It does sound kinda fun...I may look into it in more detail! :)
ReplyDeleteHihi, I know ;) There are so many out there
Delete'candy for the brain' is a good thing :)
ReplyDeleteI agree :D
Deletetoo funny. I applaud you for reading series from the middle. I am off to check out book one...LOL This sound like they type of series i enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am so bad, I do have a case of book ocd now and then but sometimes I just jump ship and goes crazy, lol
DeleteHa ha! You read out of order! YaY! ;)
ReplyDeleteI have to say, I do like candy for the brain. My brain is like on a sugar rush anyway... ;D I need to pick up this whole series.
I was bad, very very bad , but it seems it worked out :D Lucky me cos else I would have been scarred for life
DeleteOh I do enjoy candy reads. :) So glad this was a fun one to kick back with and relax. And the series isn't over for you, pulling a Melissa and starting late. ;D
ReplyDeleteI know! Pulling a Melissa, bad me, LOL, But at least now I can go back
DeleteI've got one of this authors other books on my Kindle. I'm anxious to give her a try as her books sound like that would be right up my alley!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you will enjoy which ever book you have :D
DeleteI adore this title! I would skip the first 3 and just read this one first :)
ReplyDeleteLol, well it does work ;)
DeleteI love that cover. It sounds like a good series.
ReplyDeleteIt's cute :D
DeleteSee I need this book just for the title LOL
ReplyDeleteNo, I have actually heard this are great light escape reads! I love those :)
It's so light and easy. I totally crave that sometimes, not that I read dark books, but cos I need a quick fix now and then
DeleteI don't think I could ever like Gideon...Team Thierry all the way!
ReplyDeleteHe is bad bad bad (and not in a good way). So yes team Thierry :)
DeleteAh... me being OCD, would have to start with book 1 ;)
ReplyDeleteLol, I am like that too, but lately I have tried pushing my boundries
DeleteOh, I don't think I could resist this book just because I love the title so much. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd a happy ending always works for me.
Lol, I saw a book today that I totally wanted for the sole reason of the title in question
DeleteSo are you going to start from the beginning? Is it the kind of book where you now know everything from the earlier books so it is pointless to read the earlier ones?
ReplyDeleteWell it does feel silly to go back since I know what will happen. But then again this is pnr, you still know what is gonna happen after the first page
DeleteI can't cope with reading out of order but loved the "candy for the brain" comment LOL
ReplyDeleteLol, good, cos it was :)
DeleteNothing wrong with brain candy. I live for those types of books more often than not!
ReplyDeleteLol, same here :)
