The Turning by Jennifer Armintrout
4.0
Carrie is a young doctor working in the ER when a severely beaten-up patient arrives and changes the course of her life forever. Turned against her will (and knowledge), Carrie meets fellow vampire Nathan and his ward, Ziggy. Informed that she must join the "movement" or die, she asks for time to think it over. That time is cut short when she meets her maker and his powerful witch groupie. That's when the real fun starts.
The premise of this book sounds a bit cliché, but there's nothing unoriginal once you start reading. The pace is relentless, taking Carrie (and the reader) from one situation to another with barely enough time to fully process how we got there. And while that may sound bad, it adds to the overall feel of the story. Not one scene seemed out of place and the author just keeps throwing amazing revelations one after another.
Be warned: this is not a romance! At all. Do not let that keep you from reading. It is definitely worth it.
An entertaining and fulfilling read, I enjoyed every minute of it. My one complaint is that end seemed a bit rushed. Like the page count the author had in mind was close and she had to set an ending before she got to that point. I usually forgive things like that when the book is as good as good as this one, but for some reason I just couldn't bring myself to award the whole five stars because of it.
