Wow! All I can say is, wow! Violet Howe has done it again, and this time, she’s diving into the world of the fantasy/supernatural in a way that not many would expect. The blend of the supernatural and the natural is beautifully done, and the plot makes you, the reader, feel like it’s happening in front of you. The series of events don’t feel out of the scope of reality, but you still get the feel of the fantasy elements in the events. The characters in this book are so well developed that even in the beginning they feel like old friends. The plot has so many twists and turns, that you feel on the edge of your seat the entire time! The story also sets itself up nicely for the sequel, which I will be eagerly awaiting. Great job, Mrs Howe! This book is amazing!

I received a copy of this ebook in a Goodreads giveaway.
I really enjoyed this story and the relationship between Nick and Aria, my main complaint is that it could have been 200-300 pages shorter, not because I didn’t want to read a longer book, but because the story felt like it didn’t need so many pages to be effectively told. Everything just felt really overwritten to the point of redundancy. Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed this book, I just wish it had been a little tighter.

Vampire Born by Violet Howe.
Fallen Bloodlines #1. Paranormal Vampire romance. Alternating POV between Nick and Aria. Cliffhanger.
Nick was living as a human family man when there is an accident and he reverts back to vampire. His memory of the accident is gone. Nick finds out his father died the same day of his accident. His transition to vampire is apparent to Nick’s wife, but the two love each other and they move forward with life and deal with conflicts together.
Self love message. Tolerance. Diversity.
I liked Aria’s strength of character and her willingness to listen, consider, and learn. Plus her staunch support of her husband is admirable.
The family is facing multiple problematic issues and they work through them. And not all those problems have arrived yet.
Dense writing style and word count.
This is the first book in the series and there are several pending unanswered questions. Huge cliffhanger. Scheduled book release June 9, 2023.
