~Aurora Sky is only eighteen years old and all she wants is to go to college outside of Alaska and to finally be kissed. What she didn’t want was to get in a car accident and have the U.S. Government to step in and save her life, in return for her mandatory service as a vampire hunter. They want Aurora because she has an extremely rare blood type that temporally paralysis vampires, giving her time to kill them. Aurora also didn’t imagine the only guy she now has eyes for may also be the very thing she’s supposed to kill.~

What I love about this book is the whole rare blood type angle. In this book, a person with a certain rare blood type can be injected with a certain drug cocktail that will temporally paralyze any vampire that drinks from the infect person. The book also talks about how the vampires are products of humans who had a certain blood type and died from a sickness and in return came back alive as vampires, or they were bitten by another vampire. This is a take on vampires that I have never experienced before, which makes it all the more interesting. People start getting boring with a certain book genre if the authors of that genre stick to the same outline. We need new takes on this long loved paranormal genre. Majority of people who enjoy reading love being able to escape their boring, human lives and feel like they are living a more exciting one. So, props to Nikki Jefford for coming up with a unique, interesting take on vampires and vampire hunters.

My love for this series isn’t only because it takes place in the very place I dream to move to, or the new twist on vampires and vampire hunters, but the amazing characters that are in this book. Aurora is a good example of a strong female lead. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind and knows what she wants in life. Dante is such a hilarious and sweet character. If Aurora won’t date him, I surely will. Noel is such a sweet and trustworthy character who would make the best friend in the world. Fane is a very interesting character. He seems to put on the bad boy image, when he is not as bad as he makes himself appear to be. However, he is definitely capable of extreme violence if provoked. Joss is a very interesting character who you might never completely understand. Valeria is an untrustworthy bitti who needs to be put in her place. I love Marcus, he seems to not have a care in the world and appears to be a very sweet guy. Lastly, Agent Melcher. I cannot stand that man! He is so creepy and seems to be out of his mind.

I love this book and recommend it to all who love vampire books. Even if you aren’t a huge fan of vampire books, I still believe you’d fall in love with this one. So go check it out and give the author some love!
