A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest

4.0

Well this book came highly recommended to me and I have to say that I did really enjoy it! I liked Sofia and that she tried so hard not to be afraid and to just deal with being at The Shade. It was a little shorter than I would have liked it especially because I felt like I really didn't get to know Sofia at all in the beginning. It was kind of like "oh hey, here's this girl. BAM VAMPIRES" It didn't really detract from the story I was just surprised because I was almost wondering well why should I care about Sofia. I don't know her! That's really my only complaint other than the overall shortness of the story but it was still really good. Now, onto the parts I love love loved! Derek! OMG holy hotness batman! Derek was just so sweet and I loved how he tried so hard, I love a vampire who doesn't want to be a vampire! I'm dying to know what's going to happen next, it's unfathomable to me to have Sofia be without Derek. I'm so nervous to read the next one(I'm going to buy it right now). I hated Lucas, I feel like it's going to be one of those things where he tries to redeem himself and I don't want him too! I don't want to feel sympathy for that creep he can definitely crawl into a hole somewhere and die. I also have a feeling that sending Sofia away is not going to stop Lucas. He is just going to get sneaky and get to her. Especially now that she's going to be back in the real world. Overall 4 stars and that's only because I was disappointed that it wasn't longer. Going to buy the next one now!
