Now she\u2019s forced to stay in an abandoned Victorian inn on an isolated island off the west coast of Florida, where Alana lives a double life: one as herself and one as a vicious murderer. Over the past year, she has spilt and drunk the blood of sixteen victims. The guilt of their deaths slowly eating away her sanity.<\/p>\n<p>Sixteen dead . . .<\/p>\n<p>However, things become even more complicated when Alana finds Cole, a surfer she felt a connection with the moment they met on the mainland, locked up in the island\u2019s shed. Knowing his death is inevitable, she attempts to distant herself from him, continually reminding herself of the monster residing underneath her skin. Unfortunately, it\u2019s a small island, and the more she interacts with Cole, the more her feelings grow for him.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, she has to make a decision. Either accept his fate or find a way to expel the vampire\u2019s spirit from within herself before she murders him as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25373 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/goodreads.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/43242783-dark-reflections?from_search=true&amp;from_srp=true&amp;qid=zac5gkJ2Bj&amp;rank=1\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25375 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/buylinks.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YEjtLx\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25390 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/twinsieoftheday.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Review by Brandy<\/p>\n<p>I received this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"232.30666666666673\">\n<div data-canvas-width=\"448.8662933333334\">this book has an unusual twist to it. Alana&#8217;s body is possessed by a vampire every night, and she has no<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"435.0868133333334\">control and no memory of what happens. She is allowed one day off the island every so often to get<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"421.0610799999999\">food and supplies, and she must pawn things off and try and sell her art for money. Charissa, the<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"264.79728\">vampire, doesn\u2019t get why she wants things, but lets her do it.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"264.79728\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"427.6456799999999\">Alana\u2019s guilt over what the vampire has been doing is eating her up and she sees the ghosts of the<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"437.0782533333332\">&#8220;donors&#8221; that have been killed at the island when Charissa tires of them. When she wakes up to find<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"449.94766666666646\">Cole trapped with her on the island, the ghosts start to actively harass her. Between the ghosts and the<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"439.9262266666664\">growing feelings for Cole, Alana gets desperate to save Cole. In her desperation she decides to take a<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"149.42224000000002\">chance that may kill her or worse.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"149.42224000000002\"><\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"434.31593333333325\">I really enjoyed the vampire\u2019s pet cat. He\u2019s cute with plenty of catitude lol. I also like the interaction<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"442.19603999999987\">between Alana and the people in town. With Charissa you start by hating her, then you hear her back<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"437.06754666666654\">story and start to fill a little bad for her, and then bam she really makes you hate her. There is lots of<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"454.30527999999975\">gore and violence. Alana wakes up to bloody messes all the time. I would recommend older teen and up.<\/div>\n<div data-canvas-width=\"454.30527999999975\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25376 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"100\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=300%2C100 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?resize=768%2C256 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/abouttheauthor.jpg?w=900 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Kelsey Ketch is a young-adult\/new-adult author, who works as a Wildlife Biologist and Data Analyst.
