The Turning is the first in a promising new vampire series.
Carrie Ames is a young doctor who is wondering whether she chose the correct profession; she freaks out and runs away when an extremely bloody patient comes in, and is chastised by the attending physician. She dares herself to face her fears by venturing into the morgue to view the body that caused her panic attack. Bad move: turns out he is a vampire intent on making his escape from the hospital, and Carrie's visit occurs at the wrong time. She is bitten and turned into a vampire herself, and because he is now her sire she is forever linked to him despite his evil nature.
She comes in contact with another vampire who seems the opposite of her evil sire. She finds herself attracted to Nathan, the introverted book store owner, and becomes attached to his foster son Ziggy. As she struggles to determine what vampire community she belongs to, she becomes torn between the two men and entangled in a long running war.
The pacing of this book is perfect in that it will hold your interest consistently. The heroine is likable and easy, which makes for frequent and steamy romance. This book should appeal to those for whom Twilight is too tame.
