I read this book months ago and just never wrote a review. Anyway, I love paranormal romances/YA expecially ones involving vampires :) I have to say though, this book was a disappointment. I'll admit, the attractive covered caught my eye...but the inside is certainly not as attractive as the outside makes it seem.
The book was very boring. It just lacked excitment. If you are looking for some romance in this YA book, you won't find much.
There are so many other good vampire/YA books out there, that I wouldn't waste your time on this one.
When I give new series a wing, I usually read the second one to at least give the series a shot. However, I can't bring myself to read the second in the series....I'm afraid I'll fall asleep haha :)

I really enjoyed this book, a different twist on vampires. Ms. Viehl gradually builds up a knowledge of the characters and their history. Good description of family dynamics and some interesting horse takl too. The two main characters Cat and Jesse are very well writen and makeyou want to root for their romance. I need to get book two.
From the Amazon Product Description:
Sophomore Catlyn Youngblood is used to the nomadic existence she and her two older brothers have shared since the death of their parents. When they settle down for good in the sleepy backwoods town of Lost Lake, Florida, Cat thinks they might finally fit in. Instead, they're shunned by the locals.
While riding her horse late one night, Cat meets an enigmatic and handsome boy named Jesse Raven. Even more strange than her overpowering attraction to him is Jesse's apparent aversion to the sun. As their attraction intensifies, long-kept secrets come to light. Cat learns that the Ravens are a centuries-old vampire clan . . . and worse still, that she and her brothers are descendents of Abraham Van Helsing, the world-famous vampire hunter. Mortal enemies by blood, the two families do all they can to keep them apart. But Cat and Jesse will risk everything to be togetherincluding death.
