Full Dark: A Novel of the Hidden, by Ty Lawrence, follows a young sorceress named Ashlyn.  Ashlyn was enslaved by vampires after her family was killed and kept for the taste of her blood, because unlike humans, sorceress blood is intoxicating to vampires.  She is later rescued by another vampire named Brennen, and though he keeps her for himself, they have an understanding between the two of them.  Though Ashlyn is enslaved, she is also highly protected and shares a relationship with Brennen.  Though their relationship is sometimes very strained, it's a relationship that appears to be real and believable when reading it.  This is a supernatural book that not only includes vampires and werewolves, but channels other areas like witches and sorceresses as well.Lawrence does an amazing job at taking a supernatural world and making it realistic.  He was able to weave our everyday human lives into a story that follows supernatural beings.  Ashlyn works at a coffee shop, she struggles between her life being protected though enslaved with a life where she can be completely free, and though the supernatural beings are what make up the character list for the book, their daily interactions appear to be "normal."  I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys this genre.  I look forward to reading more by Lawrence in the future.
