In a new series by Ms. St. Clair, Frankie Alexander, news reporter and part-time waitress has a weird mugging that ended with a bite and being declared dead - til she popped up at the morgue.  Now she’s craving blood, sizzling when sunlight touches her, and yearning for the kisses of one Nicholas Hamilton, the sexiest super speedy stranger she’s ever seen.  She finds out she’s a vampire with alot of powers that not all vamps have and she has to navigate this new world and this new romance and try not to end up dead again.The GoodI really enjoyed the mythology Ms. St. Clair has created with these particular vampires and the basis is there to set up a really fun series.  I like Frankie as a heroine, and even when she’s a bit spazzy she’s fun to read about.  Her platonic friendships are strong and I like dhte secondary characters that are introduced.  Even if the Frankie is labeled as a BBW, I like that it doesn’t dominate every aspect of the story, it’s simply a part of her.  She may have some normal insecurities, but overall it’s more about the vampire underworld.The Not So GoodThe romance isn’t explored as much as I’d like.  Frankie and Nicholas seem to have some potential but the entire story is from her POV and it feels that she doesn’t have much interaction with him and I didn’t feel as if I knew much about him.  I didn’t quite believe in their love, but since this story will continue I’m hoping there will be more developing on that front.The Bottom LineI liked the story and I’m intrigued to see where it goes next.
