Though not my normal genre of choice, this book is a compelling read.As two young women, best friends forever, Mo and Donna, work hard at their jobs and college, Donna lives beneath the shadow and guilt of the death of her young brother while Mo suspects everyone unless proved innocent. The kidnapping of tall blond girls with blue eyes sends Mo investigating, her journalistic instincts intent on the truth while Donna, tall, blond with blue eyes, learns why the kidnapper is interested in her.This book is well written and well edited and the story is pacey in the most part. I started to skim a little in the middle, the conversations maybe going on a little too long without the story moving forward.Through the story the characters emerge and I really enjoyed the concept of the 'family' at the house in Autumn Lane. The only part that didn't sit well with me was Donna's acceptance of her situation once Hunter becomes her lover. There was just a niggling feeling that there should have been more disbelief and freaking out before such easy acceptance, especially once she knows her fate, the same fate she's experienced for centuries, but the story moved swiftly and I soon forgot my doubts.Great first novel of what looks to be a compelling series.
