What happens when the party is over, but you've tied yourself to a lifetime of being the companion to a vampire. Amber thinks joining Nicola in the underworld is the answer to her mundane life, who wouldn't want to have the friendship, the power, the glam, the never-ending party life. But years later, secrets and betrayals have taken their toll; the shine of the new life begins to dull, and Amber is done. Will she be able to get out alive, or will her future always be with Nicola?
Offered an advanced digital copy by the publisher through netgalley (I appreciate the copy), I wasn't entirely sold on the vampire aspect. It's really not my thing. But the novel called to me, maybe it was the former club hopping party girl in me. I'm so glad I took the chance on this book. I absolutely loved it. Yes, the plot does go a bit horroresque, I'm mean they are vampires, and vampires gonna do what vampires do. But the characters were so well fleshed out, complex personalities, with flaws and weaknesses, the toxic friendship, cat and mouse thriller plot line was able to be up front and center, while the biting people stuff became more of a sub plot. Suspenseful and tantalizing, I couldn't and didn't want to stop reading. You have to love a book when you get to the end. You're reading the last few lines, and you crave more of the story. That's me. I wanted this story to keep going.
I recommend giving this book a try. Don't let the vampire thing deter you if you're normally not a vampy kind of person. There is enough meat to this story to sink your teeth into it. (See what I did there).
