Giselle is in love with the hottest boy at her school who also happens to be her boyfriend. She also has an amazing best friend in Alex.  Not much is wrong in Giselle's world.  Then one day she receives a DVD in locker, showing her boyfriend cheating on her.  Giselle looks to Alex for support who gives her that and much much more at prom.  Giselle learns that there is much more to Alex, who is not a human but a Prince of a Vampire race.  Giselle also learns that Alex has had plans for her for some time now, literally serving as the savior to his race and a new bloodline.  While Alex has always been gentle and loving with Giselle, she quickly learns he has a completely different side to him...There are many things to like about this novel, while at the same time there are a few things that hold this novel back a bit (but not too much!).  Giselle's change to becoming a 'half-vampire' was too reminiscent of Bella's change in "Twilight".  I also would  have liked to get more emotions and thoughts from Giselle when Alex does not give her a choice in becoming 'reborn'.  All that being said, Julieanne's writing style is beautiful and flows with great ease.  While the length is on the short side, I have read plenty of novels to know that if the writing is horrible, no matter how short a novel may be it can seem too long.  Julieanne's novel is perfect in this - it is not too long but not too short, with a wonderful premise, hot scenes (and I do mean hot!!), and seamless writing.  I for one cannot wait for the sequel!
