Marisa loses her parents in a car accident as well as her own life. Only she doesn't realize that she's special until she moves to a small town in South Dakota and meets the handsome Arromanovokzja brothers: Alessander, Demetri, and Ra'vin. Who are these mysterious Russian brothers?At times childlike in its wonder, at other times brutal and savage, the book follows Marisa, the fledgling, not-yet-turned vampire and her struggle to find a place in this world and to leave the loneliness of her existence behind.The author has a good ear for storytelling. The narrative is compelling and fun to follow--I pretty much read the book in one sitting. There are moments when the action gets confusing and there are editing issues, but those things didn't impede my enjoyment of the story. The author kept me turning pages wanting to know what happened.People who enjoyed reading Twilight will like this book. People who enjoy vampires, who enjoy watching the push and pull of relationships will enjoy it as well.My favorite part about the book was the obvious joy the author felt while writing this story. I liked how well loved her characters are, (even when she puts them in peril and yes, they are often in peril.)The ending was satisfying, yet enough of a teaser to make me sure to watch for the next one in the series.Thank you for the great story!
