Saphrona is a half-vampire who has been waiting for her bondmate for hundreds of years.  Saphrona has been shunning her vampire existence for years much to the dismay of her vampire sister and father.  When Saphrona meets Mark, an immortal human, she quickly accepts his offer to work at her stables, knowing he is her bondmate.  From the get go, Mark and Saphrona are attracted to each other, and there are some pretty steam love scenes.  But Saphrona soon learns that vampires are drawn to the blood of immortal humans (like Mark) whose blood is intoxicating, so Mark is now in danger of being killed by vampires and so is his shifter sister, Juliette.  With the help of Juliette and Saphrona's brother, Loch, Saphrona and Mark set out to find a way to keep Mark safe from other vampires.This book was very well written, and I really enjoyed it.  The chemistry between Saphrona and Mark was hot from the very beginning.  I really enjoyed the plot and was flipping through the pages like lightening to see what happened at the end and to find out who burned the animals/barn and attacked Juliette.  The ending was pretty intense.I am looking forward to reading Juliette's and Loch's story.  I am not sure that they will ever be able to be together because she is a shapeshifter and he is a vampire.  But there was real chemistry between those characters.  Chasing Shadows was a great paranormal romance that definitely gave a new twist on vampires.
