- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Set in a world where vampires are born, Tessa, the youngest in her family is odd man (or girl) out. She appears to be some kind of half vampire. Feeling rejected by her family and the vampire community, her friends are human and she’s done her best to fit in with them while keeping her secret. That is until a boy she’s interested is kidnapped by vampires and wow, look out. Her need to find and rescue her friend has her standing up to her family and shaming vampires into getting involved. And wouldn’t you know it; she’s got abilities that others don’t have.It’s fun to watch Tessa come into her own and garner respect from her family and the others involved in the rescue that had never been evident before. And what they discover is pretty big and could result in a war.As an adult I found I really enjoyed the characters as well as the issues and feelings of the three teens the story is centered on. I could easily relate to Tessa and felt a connection with the character. And it appears that the major conflict in this story will carry through a number of books. This is my first book by this author. It won’t be the last. I’ve already downloaded the next book in the series.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I chose not to read the full synopsis before diving into this one, because I didn't want to ruin anything for myself. Based on the title alone, I thought it would just be about a teenage vampire who would rather be human. I was way off! It's even better!The main character, Tessa, is 16 years old and a member of a powerful vampire family, but she also has a lot of human characteristics that separate her from her mom, dad, and brothers. This causes her family to severely miscalculate her abilities and also causes her to underestimate herself. She finds it easier to try and fit in with her human friends; that is until a group of vampires kidnap her crush, Jared. She really steps up to the plate at that point because she knows that most vampires look down on humans and see them as little better than animals. She certainly surprised me with her conviction, since at the beginning she didn't want much to do with her vampire traits, but she knew she needed to embrace them to save Jared. She not only showed her family just how strong she was but also discovered that she was more extraordinary than any of them thought. I loved seeing her become more confident and gain more respect, especially from her father. Their relationship at first was rocky, but it strengthens greatly over the course of the book; when she finally fully embraces who she is, they are able to bond over it, which was exactly what she needed to finally feel like she belonged in her family.I assumed that Jared would be her love interest throughout the entire story, but I was wrong. Her feelings for him get the action rolling, but in the process of searching for him she becomes closer with her brother's best friend, Cody. With her new-found self-confidence, they see each other in a different light, but unfortunately with all of the chaos they aren't able to explore their blossoming feelings. The chemistry is definitely there, however, and I look forward to seeing what develops in the next book.This book managed to stand out amongst the plethora of vampire novels out there. I liked how vampires had different abilities and how some of them, like Tessa, seemed more human than vampire (i.e. could be out in the daylight, didn't crave blood). It added a bunch of new dimensions to the world and I'm liking where the series is going.This really was a great read. I was entirely able to relate with Tessa and enjoyed watching her change throughout the story. Just a warning, the author leaves us with one heck of a cliffhanger, so I can only hope that the next book comes out soon!
