Book summary:
When Sofia Claremont was kidnapped to a sunless island,
uncharted by any map and ruled by the most powerful vampire coven on the
planet, she believed she’d forever be a captive of its dark ruler, Derek Novak.
Now, after months
of surviving an endless night, the morning sun may soon rise again for Sofia.
Something has possessed Derek’s heart and he offers her a gift no human slave
has ever been given in the history of his cursed island: escape.
High school, prom
and a chance to move on with her life now await her.
But will she be
able to forget the horrors that steal her sleep away at night? … and the
feelings that haunt her for that tormented prince of darkness?
Not so long ago I've got invitation to do the review for A Shade Of Vampire. To be honest vampires are now old story so I didn't expect a lot. That's way the book took me by surprise and I really liked it. I was so happy when the author asked me to do a review for this one.
Like I said in my A Shade of Vampire review this series is about a girl named Sofia who gets kidnapped by Novak family. One of the eldest vampire family. Soon enough she becomes a pet of a price himself - Derek. But not only that she becomes something more. Up until a moment when her life gets in danger and she must go away. Now in this book the two of them are separated. Sofia is back into the real world with annoying Ben while Derek has a lot of things to do in vampire world.
I can't tell you more about the story but I can about my feelings for this book. First with annoying Ben. I have no clue if the idea was to create some sort of a love triangle there but honestly that annoying little brat is really getting on my nerves. That mostly was the reason why the first part of the book wasn't so good for me. Honestly this story becomes awesome when Derek and Sofia are together. Luckily I got that too. Still I believe that with all the realizations the next book in this series will be great. I mean if there is one but I strongly believe that there will be one.
Rating: 3.5 stars
Until the next time,
I have this book for review too! I surprisingly enjoyed A Shade Of Vampire so hope this one is good too. I didn't like Ben before so I don't think I will in this one either. Awesome review Tanja! :)

Great! I can't wait to see what you think of it! :) Yeah that kid is really annoying. Thanks darling :)
IzbrišiI also liked A shade of vampire. It's a shame that there is a somewhat love-triangle in this one.
OdgovoriIzbrišiMel@thedailyprophecy.
Yeah but luckily not for long ;) I hope you'll enjoy this one :)
IzbrišiSomeone's not a fan of Ben, I see ;) Haha! Anyway, this does sound really good despite the annoying love triangle. I hope it's not too Twilight-y though.

I guess it's obvious ;) No it's not. I mean honestly I don't pay much attention on Ben so I couldn't care less about what he wants :D
IzbrišiUgh i hate annoying love triangles! Seems like you agree with me lol. I have been seeing this series around a lot, but there is just something that keeps me from starting it. Great review!
OdgovoriIzbrišiYeah I do! :) I hope you'll get to read it cause Derek is one of swoon-guys ;) Thanks :)
IzbrišiI'm honestly not convinced this series would be for me, but I'm glad you're enjoying it and that it's great at least part of the time.
OdgovoriIzbrišiAnd adding a love triangle when the original relationship is so intense just doesn't make sense.
Great review.
You're not into paranormal so much so yeah you're right. Thanks :) It's gone now luckily :)
IzbrišiUh oh, you said those two little words that make most of us book bloggers shudder: Love triangle. Nooooooo! Ben sounds hugely problematic, but at least things are solid between Derek and Sofia and it sounds like the second half is better than the first. I always like when a story finishes strong:)
OdgovoriIzbrišiLOL Yeah I shouldn't have said that xD I just hope that now he will stay where he is and I'm good! :)
IzbrišiWell, i read the first book in the series and I liked it. But didn't really fall in love with it. So I hope that this book in the series will be better
OdgovoriIzbrišiGREAT review, Tanja

I really hope you'll enjoy this one then. :) I mean I dunno what "team" you're in :) Thanks Soma :)
IzbrišiI got the first book too and thought it was pretty good, but I haven't read this one. Annoying Ben? I can't even remember him from the first book! Love these covers though :) Awesome review!
OdgovoriIzbrišiJanina @ Synchonized Reading
I hope that you'll enjoy this one too. Ah you know the guy..he is Sofia's best friend and she had a huge crush on him..Thanks :)
IzbrišiOh I hate it when the characters you want together are separated! Especially when this girl is paired with an annoying character instead. Good that you finally got your wish with them reunited, Tanja. I really want to pick up the first one of this series. It sounds great! Wonderful review. :)
OdgovoriIzbrišiLOL You totally know how I feel! Yes I got what I wanted. I hope you'll enjoy it. Thanks :)
IzbrišiHmmm... I'm interested to see why Sophia was kidnapped in the first place. That's got my interest piqued. I love when couples get back together <3 I hate when author's toy with our hearts and keeps our favorite people apart. Ben sounded like a pain...
OdgovoriIzbrišiYeah you have to read the fist book first! :) Me too especially if they work really good together :)
IzbrišiI enjoyed the first one, and although Ben definitely doesn't sound so great, I'm really excited to read this :) Great review!
OdgovoriIzbrišiI hope you'll enjoy it. Just don't pay attention to Ben like me ;) Thanks :)
