Summary
Traumatized by her past, and struggling to move on from it, Sera has spent the past three years of college hiding herself from the world and content to stay that way. A chance encounter with Liam shatters her sheltered world, leaving her stunned and shaken by the strange feelings and emotions he arises in her, feelings she never thought she would experience and that frighten her in their intensity.
Harboring a dark and deadly secret of his own, Liam knows that he should stay away from Sera, that he will only bring her more hurt, but he is irresistibly drawn to her and unable to deny himself the pleasure that only she can bring to him. But when their pasts collide with their present and Liam's true nature is revealed, will their love for each other be enough, or will they be torn apart forever?

not for me
this book isn't for me. The story is rushed and nonsensical. the plot lines aren't very well thought out so it feels like it's jumping from one thing to another without any thought, example... why would Jacob show up after so long when there's been no mention of him ever having been looking for her or even caring?! and from what I listened to (gave up around chapter 15) the vampire mythology is rubbish in the book.
I like this narrator, which is the only reason it got 2 stars overall, she did the best she could with what she had.

Love vampires but not a fan of this..... Like twilight but more sex I guess
Well I must say I got this thinking I would like it as I've listened to other vampire books with this notator, but I was let down. I'm not sure what I disliked the most I guess it was the story and the characters they all seem "whiney".
I the characters are all American college age and well act it not sure what I expected but I tried to give this book the full chance of listening to it all but was still left unhappy so thank goodness I was able to get my credit back with the audible guarantee.

Too much sex, in a bad way!
Couldn't finish it. Partly because of the narrator. Her performance of Sera sounded like a spoiled nasty little girl, who was always wining. The storyline is rushed and sometimes doesn't make sense. The worst of all was the sex scenes!!! As if author was given a task to fill in a specific amount of sex scenes, and she was just randomly inserting them. The description of those scenes was so vulgar, repetitive and long. I had to scroll past it all the time. The depiction of vampires is ridiculous! The supposedly vampire guys sounded more like werewolves to me, always being together like a pack and Liam being an alpha. The characters are bad, controversial and too childish. And finally the cover photo!!! Omg, I know it has nothing to do with this content of the book, but that guy looks like a zombie version of Jakob from Twilight. Looks too ugly to me!

It’s okay
Fine to pass the time but a little boring and a bit too syrupy. The main characters are cookie cutter copies of Edward and Bella - a shy, sweet, beautiful girl enthrals an impossibly handsome vampire with a self-loathing complex and they have an inexplicable attraction to each other that defies all reason. All the will they/won’t they is predictable and dull. No real plot twists and very little world building. The best thing about hidden species like vampires is to learn their secrets and how they work and revel in their abilities and these guys just seem like humans that don’t age, have a lot of sex and little else. No info about their physiology- they seem to have heartbeats but why, how do their bodies work, why can they reproduce, I know this is a chick lit paranormal romance but I also like things to be explained and make sense.
Also, the dominating male and the rather stupid wilting female that gets herself into scrapes because she is wilful and unthinking trope is getting old. I’d like to see a strong sexy female lead that kicks ass and saves the day and isn’t crushed by her possessive, controlling mate who is borderline abusive at times. The relationships in these types of books never seem equal, the guys has all the power and calls the shots and the girl is petulant and impulsive.
Love scenes are pretty good and Tavia Gilbert is the best thing about this book.
All in all it’s engaging enough and I’m considering the next book.

ok for a teen vamp book I guess, not Adult read
I think this is more of a teen vamp book, than a book aimed at an adult audience
most of the story was taken up with Buffy the Vampire Slayer story line.
jealous ex friends, frat parties, friends go and stay in a remote cabin during a snow storm
Bit too infantile for me.
the obligatory sex scenes very 16 year old in nature, wouldnt even qualify as vanilla tbh.
I'm going to try returning this book, I actually fell asleep to it.

I really wanted to like this book, but the characters made it difficult
I really wanted to like this book, but I just couldn’t get on board with the two MCs. The plot felt a little twilight-y - which I usually quite like - but it just lacked a little more depth. It had a good few of THOSE types of scenes which were well written but the lust for each other felt like the main plot. It also took ages for the acknowledgement of vampires so at the beginning it just felt like a romance novel, if that’s what you like.
