This book is about a girl named Sera who had suffered from a very traumatic incident three years ago and has spent her last three years trying to forgot the incident and move on. Sera never thought she would be able to love and trust again. That was until she ran into Liam at a frat house part her BFF dragged her to. But Liam has a dangerous secret that he believes will only bring her more pain. His secret is eventually revealed. Will their love be able to survive the secret, or will it rip them apart?

I love this book because it is a more down to earth vampire book than others. Most authors wouldn’t have given one of their characters a past like the Sera’s and I love that about this book. This book also has amazing characters that you see in everyday life and probably know at least one person in your life with a similar personality as these characters. I know someone who almost has the exact personality as Sera’s BFF Kathleen. The author also knows how portray what a young adults’ life is like in their last year of college. And don’t get me started on the sexy scenes that are in this book. Can you say STEAMY. I love how sweet and innocent Sera is and how considerate and protective Liam is. Liam would do anything to protect his lovely Sera. They are probably one of the most adorable couples in the vampire world.

All in all, I absolutely love this book and highly recommend it. I think just about anyone who reads this book will fall in love with it in one way or another. Brenda K. Davis does an amazing job at providing her audience with a realistic world, characters to fall in love with, and a take on vampires that is probably one of the most believable versions.
