A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
5.0
I still love this! I read this many years ago and never continued the series. Since it is a long series (like 90-something books!), I thought I would re-read the first book and see if it would be worth it. It so is!
What I love about this book is that you have a flawed heroine. Although beautiful, she is scared by her mother's mental health issues which ended her mother being in an institution. She also has sensory issues that lead to insecurity. Still, she perseveres. But what I love most about her is that, despite these "flaws" she is full of compassion and a fighter.
When kidnapped by vampires, she does what exactly I would do. She observes and fights. I love that!
I also love that this seems to be a slow-burn romance with just the buds of appreciation and love building between the main character and Derek the "vampire prince". This is a captive falling for her captor romance but with the slow-burn elements it seems more believable than many other of that theme.
Also, very fast paced and a quick read. Will be looking forward to starting the LONG journey with this series.
