Waking a monster from its sleep is never a good idea.
Skye Carter is as normal as normal can be. But when she chances upon a man in the basement of an abandoned Hollywood Hills house, she’s suddenly playing tour guide, and introducing a fifteen-hundred-year-old vampire to this century. And who even knows what’s going on with her teeth.
The truth is, immortality can get old—which is why Lucas Thorne went to sleep for seventy years. But he’s back and ready to take on undead enemies and friends alike. In a world where threatening creatures roam the night streets, he’s the most dangerous of them all.
Review by Twinsie Angie
I was given this book by the author for an honest review.
When Kylie said she had a Vampire novel I was excited. Paranormal is my favorite genre to read. I do love that Kylie is stretching her writing chops to tackle new subjects and new genres. I have read every book of hers and will continue to do so.
Skye is a fabulous character who was in the wrong place at the wrong time when she became a meal for a starving just woke up elder vampire. Poor girl. She soon is thrown into a world of violence, betrayal, family, and rules??? Crazy right.
I liked Skye and her character. She was a modern woman who was not to thrilled with Lucas and his old timey ways. Lucas is a hot mess in this time period. Things have changed and he needs to roll with the new times. Henry…he made the book. I loved every sentence he uttered in the book and every single scene.
SO did I like the book? Yes-ish. The banter with Henry was the best. Its what I love most about Kylie books. Her banter is on point. What I didn’t love was the constant retelling of information when a new character was introduced to the storyline. It felt like too much of the same things. I liked the story line of the new “Board” vs Lucas and his “old ways”. I also felt like the story was stiff and was almost too slow to get going. By the last few chapters I felt like it was better with the story and flow.
I would love to see another book since I feel towards the end of the book Kylie got into a good flow with the world and characters.
Kylie is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today best-selling, Audie Award winning Romance author.
