*** Warning, honesty and possible spoilers are to follow!! ***I have to say that when I started reading, I didn't know what to expect. Too often I am given books, find books or I am referred books by friends and not all of them I enjoy. I like them for the hard work and effort poured into them and the creativity, but they always wind up being something that doesn't really appeal to me. That isn't the case with this book!Revitalized is new, inventive and a great read. I found no difficulty in following the story, and in my opinion was far simpler than most the books that I read giving it a fun YA read feel. I have to say that I wouldn't recommend it for under the age of 15 depending on guardian opinion as there are some scenes not meant for the younger audience.) I highly enjoyed this book and greatly went beyond what I had expected. The overall book was enjoyable as it was different and I absolutely LOVED that. I am a huge reader, so after a while all things start to sound the same and I can tell you what will happen next, but not with this book and that made it all the more likeable for me.With that said, the only drawback for me, and the reason for my four stars instead of five was that the scene for the waitress was believable, yet rushed. (I was a waitress at Denny's during third shift and I have seen fist fights break out over creamer. Exaggerated yes, but partially true.) I also felt like Lacal had word vomit going on when he explained everything to her and her quick eating of the explanation was a bit farfetched. But, her reaction to leave and emotions that followed made up for it... until the best friend steps in with "Go." If I said that my current man crush honey thought that he was a slave to me-for lack of a better term-and that I was a vampire from another world, then she would be blocking numbers on my phone and checking my temperature. Still, despite these flaws I loved the book. I was so happy to see that vampires were from something different than the traditional dribble that everyone continuously regurgitate into each 'Fresh New Novel'. (Pardon my harshness, but it is truth.) Cage didn't do that and I not only commend her for that, I honor her for that as well. As such, I will look forward to the next installment.Well done.**** This review is the property of Otherworldly Prophecies Novels and it's owner. This book was gifted to me for an honest review. ****
