Wow! Devour is the appropriate word for the title of the book! She hit the head on the nail with that one! I "Devoured" the book in one sitting, could not put it down, and I can not get the story out of my head 2 days later! Major props to Andrea for coming up with such an amazing twist on vampires! I was getting tired of the same old same old. There have been many many books that have captured me and drew me in but it took a could of chapters... in Devour I was HOOKED after the first paragraph!We jump right into the glamorous and luxurious life of sexy teenage royal vampire Callie. On a routine hunting night with her best friend and fellow royal vampire Judy, Callie comes across a sultry male at the bar and makes him her target for the night. She knows there is something different about him but peruses him anyways because his blood smells too yummy to resist. She follows the protocol of the vampires to the T and leaves her hunt Chase in a dazed state like they always are when their minds have been erased. The next day she runs into Chase and he not only remembers her name but everything form the night before.....EVERYTHING! That is when all hell breaks loose.Callie is a breath of fresh air that I have been waiting for! She would be an awesome friend, her thoughts are a hoot, and she is easily relatable. Callie is on the brink of a life changing nght, "The Blood Ball" were she would hopefully find a mate. Chase complicates things for her family and her future mates. Awesomely there is not "I cant decide who to like" and no "ooo Im in love with them both". Definitely my kind of girl and for me makes her that much more likeable! Cody..In the absence of a gooey love triangle there is oodles of suspense on what will be Chases fate, what will the council do to Callie, and how will all of this effect the Vampire community. There is also a beautiful and intense love story. I fell in love with Cody and Callie and I know you will too! Its enjoyable to read a couple that is so openly in love and devoted to each other. They are the definition of romance. Romeo and Juliet type of love. The book is perfectly paced with no drawn out scenes, suspenseful, palpitating love, and shock and awe around every page! I am HOOKED and I am hopping for a sequel or a series because I would love to be immersed back into Cody and Callies life, see where Chase and Judy are going, and what will happen with Codys sister.
