What do you do if you are a person that fights against vampires, but then are ordered by the President to let one into the country and protect him?  This is what Liana has to face in this paranormal adventure.  She is part of the Little Council, a group made through their lineage  to make sure vampires don't invade their country.  Maximilien Hess is an ancient vampire, who Liana is now expected to work with and protect because the President said so.  What is his plan that he needs a vampire?  How can anyone trust a vampire when they are known just to be blood thirsty killers?  Liana is determined to find out what is going on, no matter what it takes to do so.  To do that though, she will need to face danger from her past as well as present.I really enjoyed this book, cover to cover.  I read it in two afternoons and can't wait to read on in this series.  It is a great mix of action, a bit of mystery, and some underlying romance too all wrapped up in a paranormal package.  The plot was very interesting and kept moving right along all throughout the book, making me more than willing to keep reading on to see what happened.  Sometimes I find that first books in a series can be a bit bland and then end with huge cliff hangers to make you want to read on, but Visan did a great job making this first book entertaining from the get go.  Yes it has an ending too, but one that you can see continuing on too, in the following books.  Visan gives and ending that is conclusive to this book, to a point, but is also wide open enough to make you eager to read on in the series.  The characters in this book are unforgettable!  They each have their own personalities, lives, and pasts that make this book what it is.  I like how you are given information about them all to make them more developed, but at the same time there is an air of mystery to them all too, something that tells you as a reader that there is more to them that you will learn as you read on in the book and in the series.  There are some parts that made me wonder what they heck the characters were talking about, but as I read on it all started to be played out for me.  I think that was the only "gripe" I had about the book.  Some parts made me feel like there was another book before this I missed, even though I knew this was the first one.  I kind of just hoped it would all play out at some point, which it did, but at first it left me a tad bit confused or wondering.  Otherwise, this was a great read for me and the start of a great new series that I look forward to reading more of some day.4/5 Stars!Received free via author for honest review.
