So Samantha and Vince want to take over the thrown because they want power. In order to do this they have to kill Alexis, an offspring of royalty who was hidden among humans and grew up thinking she's human too. Samantha feels she deserves to sit on the throne because one of her parents was a royal vampire and feels that this is a birthright.Samantha and Vince's crew of vampires kill humans when they feed on them, unlike some royals who keep servants and feed on them daily. In other words, they're the bad guys.Vince sents Samantha to capture Alexis for him by going undercover as a student and befriending Alexis to lure her in a trap. Samantha reports that Alexis is the nerdy type and doesn't believe in vampires, so Vince orders her to find a boy who will draw her attention, and lead her into their trap. While doing so she falls in love with a human Tanner, which comes as a surprise to her,  and she tells him she's a vampire but lies about her reasons for being in his town. Seeing no alternative, she gives Tanner a necklace that will make Alexis fall for him when she begins to transition into a vampire and lies to Tanner and says it is to keep vampires from controlling his mind. She then leaves Tanner heartbroken and breaks her own heart in the process even though she reaffirms the throne is more important to make herself feel better about her choices.Poor Tanner. I'll be reading the first book, Deception.
