This book is a breath of fresh air filled with sassy comments, a snarky heroine, and a schmexy vampire. Anna and Vlad's fated story is fabulous and unlike anything I've read before. The romance, the comedy, and the characters make this book a fantastic light hearted read. I liked the inclusion of fated mates, vampires, and wolf shifters. The single antagonistic story was terrific; definitely someone you grow to hate. This is the first in the series, and I would totally read the rest of them.
The prologue of this book is sassy, funny, and very upfront with her current predicament. Anna is a video blogger and has decided to expose all things vampire but, of course, gets herself into trouble. The vampire populations recently came out of their "casket-closet," and humans are still adapting. She and her friend Lucy decide to go to a hot vampire club to get more info.
Of course, she encounters a real vampire. It doesn't end well for her. However, just as all is lost, she is saved. When she finally awakes, she is in for a surprise and many questions. I love how blunt she is, almost reckless in her behavior. Her character is definitely a breath of fresh air, full of personality. Vlad tells her some exciting facts and unravels the story behind what happened.
This book contains many build-ups, but tidbits of information on the main plot issues and political agendas creep in. I also like the author's subtle mates' plotline, but it is very relaxed. Of course, our new vampire is brash, sassy and bold, and oh so funny to read as she becomes part of this unknown paranormal world. Vlad is a character, but he is very subtle, proper, and alpha. I like the crew of vampires he brings in and the different personalities present. I know where this is going, but it is still an amusing read. There are some parts you can't help but laugh at.
This book wraps up nicely, and we finally get some steamy scenes. I enjoyed this sarcastic story about vampires.

quirky, odd, interesting, original, a spin on the old that makes you laugh and hold your breath. I wish I had the second one ready to go when I finished book 1 because I really wanted to know what happened after. And I hope we get to hear more about the side characters.

Fated mates is one of my favorite tropes, add it to Paranormal Chick Lit and you have a winning combination. I think the chick lit gives you more of a BFF feel. Anna and Lucy are in this thing called life together even when Anna becomes “undead”. Then we get Vlad who is like five hundred years older than Anna, but they can’t fight the attraction they feel even when he is trying to be stoic and teach her to be a vampire. Throw in a big baddie that is truly evil and seemingly unstoppable and we get the trifecta angsty romance, intrigue, and just enough action. Can’t wait for more.
