When asked about their favourite book series readers may say Twilight, The Hunger Games, Divergent or House of Night. On the other hand I will always name RaShelle Workman's first season of the Blood and Snow series as my favourite; they are by far the most read books I have on my Kindle! As soon as I discovered RaShelle Workman was releasing a second season of the series, starting with Vampire Lies, I knew I had to be first in line to read a copy!Vampire Lies begins the story of Jasmine, the 'daughter', of Snow and Dorian. She is nearly 16 and frustrated with her life in Sharra, being the only vampire with wings and surviving on the blood of magical species. One day she meets Laeddin, a genie who grants her wish to be 'normal', removing her wings and transporting her from her home to the human world.Vampire Lies is not the romance some readers may hope for. It is clear that Jasmine has feelings for Laeddin but his are ambiguous; his sense of responsibility as Jasmine's servant far outweighing and desire for her he may have. Yet, with the appearance of Jasmine's dream man, which is reminiscent of Christopher in Blood and Snow, it is although the emotions Jasmine feels for Laeddin increase in intensity.Once again with this novel RaShelle Workman has revealed her talent as a writer, weaving together motifs from several traditional fairy tales to create a modern story which is compelling, dramatic and innovative.I cannot wait until the next installment of season two, but at least until then I may have time to read Blood and Snow season one again . . . .I was given this as a complimentary review copy, but this has had no influence on my opinion.
