Conversion by S.C. Stephens
4.0

**3.5** Emma runs into Teran one morning, and dumps her coffee all over his pristine white shirt. Emma is a normal 20-something woman, working a dead-end job for a crabby boss. Teran is a little-bit-vampire. He eats food like a human, has a heartbeat and works a regular job. He just occasionally drinks warm blood…but of course, there's more to the story.

This is a really sweet, non-threatening vampire romance story. No swashbuckling alpha males to be found here. Teran is a metro-vampire, he drinks cappuccinos, and he drives a Prius!

Teran isn't the smartest vampire in the crypt. He's constantly making stupid decisions about his health. Despite his head being in the clouds, he really is an endearing sweetheart, and treats Emma with adoration. Emma is surprisingly witty, and she seems more concerned with the intricacies of Teran's vampirism than he is. He's really lucky to have found her!

The bedroom descriptions are super vague and boring, which is surprising from the author that brought us the rock star Kellen!

The biggest complaint I have with the story, is the way Emma's younger sister is described. Ashley survived a house fire when she was nine. She has burns covering most of her body, including her chest, neck, and face. The author uses words like "horrific warped flesh" and "A woman who had the most horrific face you could imagine." What I can't imagine that's so horrific, is the fact that the author would describe a burn victim this way.
