Rating: 4 out of 5

Really enjoyed this book and the physically different breed of vampires in it that's unique in a saturated market.Prophecy has led a sheltered life in her families home, while they go out hunting and to balls she stays at home but yearns to go out and see the City of Prague where she's lived all her life.While everyones distracted and out feeding she escapes and finally has her first kill but doesn't realize there's an audience watching.Valentine has lived for centuries and is the youngest to have built his position up through his house to one of respect from the Lord. He aspires to be a Law Keeper one day and has never gone against his family until he discovers the child of the prophecy. He's ordered to kill her but knows it's the wrong thing to do.Both have abandoned their houses and are now fugitives but with a Vampire War on the way they must stay alive and fulfill the prophecy, learning about themselves and each other along the way.Really enjoyed this book, it did go slow in some instances but there was plenty of content to go through.The characters of Prophecy and Valentine could have been a little more developed as they did have an innocence to them but i'm sure that'll happen in the sequels.As they were travelling together a bond was bound to be forged between them as they were instantly attracted to each other when they first met but Valentine tries to deny his feelings with the hope that his family will forgive him.Their romance is definitely slow in progression and that was a little frustrating at times which is why I marked it down.There were some minor editing errors which didn't detract from the story but were noticeable.The mix of different characters was interesting and refreshing especially Dmitri and Mia. The scene where Prophecy meets Dmitri is one of my favourites and shows not to judge a book by it's cover.The ending was certainly a cliffhanger so looking forward to book 2.
