Whenever I see that a book is in first person POV I get a little anxious because I absolutely hate or more like strongly dislike this POV. I have found that most, if not all, Urban Fantasy books are in first person and that I love the stories. There is so much going on the life if the main character and said character is oft times so mature that I don’t mind been in just their mind.

     This is one of those times. Merit is a geeky grad student that has been changed into a vampire after an attack that almost killed her. Ethan Sullivan found her as she was been attacked and saved her by changing her. Now Merit has to learn vampire politics and help Ethan and the authorities (which she finds is her grandfather who is supposed to be retired from the police) figure out who attacked her and why it looks like other attacks are connected to what happened to her.

     Merit, like I mention, is very mature and strong-willed which makes her a strong vampire for being a young one. There is so much going on in this book but it is not so much that you get overwhelmed with the information dump. We learned not just that vampires exist, since eight months before they decided to come out to the world, but there are others that are still hiding like shifters, nymphs, and sorcerers.

     I loved every minute of this book and although I had a little trouble with Cynthia Holloway’s narration I was able to get into the story quickly and I like the way she narrated the book. I can hear Merit having Holloway’s tone of voice. It just makes perfect sense with the image I have of Merit in my mind.

     Needless to say, I can’t wait to start book two and just FYI I already did!
