This book was just ok for me. It was a different take on a vampire book so that was a good change I would recommend to people who like vampire books that aren't full of sex and just aren't like all others. Liana is a member of the White Council and hates vampires. But when the President orders one to be brought in, one Maxamillian Hess, Liana is ordered to watch him. An abhorrent chore, but she is determined to do her duty, and make sure that Max doesn't hurt anyone, even if the President won't say why Max is even there. Liana is a little bit boring, to be honest. I wish she had a bit more rebellion in her to liven things up. Now Max is another story - he definitely is the star of this first installment of a new series - which lays the groundwork for future books . I really started to enjoy the story about half way through and look forward to another book in this series. Ioana has built a complex and riveting world and I'm looking forward to reading about all of the vampires and other characters populating it. If you enjoy reading vampire books,then maybe this book is for you! You can download it for .99 on amazon!I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
