Loved the overall love story between Annalise, the human soulmate to Amish virgin vampire Adam. The battle of giving in to her new fate and how it affects her and Adam's life and how there is a mystery/warning in her dreams about someone or something lurking in the background makes me look forward to the next book in the series.

Great PNR!

I haven’t read a lot of PNR but I enjoyed this one! I loved Adam so much. I can’t wait for more from this author!

GREAT READ!

I really enjoyed it! The narration was great and kept me entertained! The author did a great job with the character builds and plot. This was my first book by this author but definitely not my last! I look forward to reading more books in this series! I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Addicted to Vampires

It has been awhile since I have listened ir read anything PNR! I was gifted this code for my honest review and boy did this story not disappoint! I truly appreciate the way that Lydia's explained how vampires lived amoung humans in this book! I think this story line was so original in that viewpoint! I can't wait to listen to book 2!

Power of Love

I was like please don't let this be a Twilight reimagining... and it wasn't! It was more! What an interesting perspective of love. How do we define it? By rituals or the heart.

This book is the groundwork (building) of a whole new world. It’s fairly steady with no grand build up but keeps your attention. Then it ended and I was not ready because that's when the action started. And it ends with so many possibilities! I enjoyed it so much & cannot wait to explore all their futures.
