This is a great paranormal romance for all vampire/monster lovers. 18-year-old Sherry is just getting settled in Paris and uses her gift to read Tarot cards as a means to earn a living. She's had a rocky past and still must fight to keep from going under in the beautiful city. But she's tough - mostly. The descriptions of the market place where she has her stand and the surrounding atmosphere were wonderful! I had no trouble placing myself right there next to her.When the evil vampires appear - and yes, they are not the nice friendly types - the danger is tangible. When Sherry's swept into the underworld of Paris, her reactions and thoughts are very realistic. And the descriptions are so vivid, it felt like the air around me was even growing musty and old.This story takes a slightly different twist on vampires, one that in many ways is more realistic than other myths and stories. The romance isn't instant but develops over time giving the reader a chance to get to know the characters and the situations they face. I especially enjoyed the fact that each vampire's personality was different; they couldn't be thrown into one category. I learned to hate or love the individual characters, and was kept on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next - and no, the turns were not always predictable.Even weeks later, I catch myself thinking about some of the scenes. This was definitely an enjoyable read.
