Deb's Review:The Charmed by Christine Wenrick is a delicious spell binding story that will leave you breathless. This is book one in the Charmed Trilogy; I was totally blown away at the enchanting cast and the amazing plot line.Caleb is a new born vampire, who was drawn to a horrendous train crash, only to find a diamond in the ruff, named Olivia. What shocked Caleb more was how he was drawn to her in that instant. I love...Love this hero! I think Caleb's sexiness, heart, strength, his stunning way to make me laugh, his loyalty to his family is what makes him a stand out hero in my book. Ms. Wenrick has her readers connecting with Caleb and his inner turmoil.Olivia has just found herself in the middle of a battle, and she is the prize to the one who can convince her to join their cause. Olivia was a challenge for me up until I hit chapter two, after that I felt better about this heroine. I think for me she became stronger toward the end of the book, her role being deeper, my understanding of her character, much better.I cannot wait to see what Caleb and Olivia have to offer us in book #2. They endure so much in this first book it is going to be interesting to see how they cope.Secondary characters truly helped add a zest to both the hero and heroine as well as to the plot line. You have the Daywalkers, The Brethren, and a wacked out vampire that thinks he is the king of all. You cannot get any better than that. There was a connection between Alec and Gemma that had me a bit curious since Jax is half in love with her. I hope I get more of these three, in the next book. I will say at the end of this book, I have some suspicions on a few things, but I can't say any more than that...{hint spoiler.}I cannot wait to read book #2!If you enjoy a different spin on your Vampire stories then pick up The Charmed book #1 in the Charmed Trilogy by Christine Wenrick her amazing talents will draw you in, and leave you craving for more.Rated 4 Stilettos by Deb!
