            ~“Every town has its history and skeletons, but Silent Bend, Mississippi’s are darker than most. Ruled from the shadows by the House—the immortal Born and their aging, enslaved Bitten—everyone knows not to go out after dark and the police will never look into crimes involving blood.
            Alivia Ryan didn’t know the man who claims to be her father through a will even existed until she inherits the Conrath plantation. Instead of the sleepy house she expects, she finds a mansion and a staff who look at her with fear in their eyes.
            Ian Ward tried to kill Alivia the first time they met, and then insisted he train her to defend herself against the House, who he claims will try to manipulate and take her in for their own political reasons. And the growing attraction between them will threaten their lives—Ian is a sworn enemy of the House.
            In Silent Bend, people disappear, the threat of a demented King and the legend of his resurrecting Queen hang over everyone’s heads, and proving loyalty means far more than blood. You’d better watch who you trust in this town…

Book description from Amazon

By Keary Taylor”~

            This book is a really good book. It has all of the necessary elements that are needed to make a good book, for example: it has good characters, an interesting story plot, written well, and it is taking a new view on the vampire legend. My favorite character out of this book would have to be Rath. Rath is such an interesting character, he is so mysterious and has a very powerful presence. I like Alivia, but she can be a little whiny at times and her innocence when it comes to certain matters can really drive me crazy. I also don’t like how she turns into putty whenever Ian spares her a glance. My favorite part about this book is the take on vampirism Keary Taylor takes. I love her take on how these Born reach their vampirism. I also love that it is taking place in the South, not many books are written with the story taking place in the South.

All in all, I really liked this book. It managed to suck me in and cause me to read the rest of the series. It may not have been the most exciting book on the face of this planet, but it wasn’t bad. You just have to stick to the book and read it to the end to come across the really interesting parts. I really liked this book and I hope you all will give it a shot!
