Okay. It's about vampires, but the good news is that Carrie Pulkinen creates a unique take on the vampire stories in her book Reawakened.Jules is a regular woman who has had a hard life but nothing extremely extraordinary until she meets Ian. His Scottish accent is enough to make any woman swoon, but there is something more. Something about him seems off yet just right. He's a vampire but claims to be much more than that for her and her alone. The next thing you know, her life is turned upside down and memories surface that have been suppressed that will help save her and her daughter's life.I love it when an author can take something that is common such as the vampire stories and almost overly done like the vampire stories and come up with something new and refreshing. Carrie Pulkinen has done just that. In fact, though Ian is a vampire, that is not the focus of the story, and I like that. There is so much more to this which makes it an enjoyable read.The pace is relatively fast but not too much. You can easily set the book down and pick it right back up where you left off without breaking a sweat. The plot is very well done with several twists and turns. A few of them even caught me off guard.There was some confusion at one point in the story as things began to unravel and be revealed. I can't say too much in the details as it would be a spoiler, but I had to read a few sections over again and some details were still not clear. There were also some language in it though it was very minor. The sex was extremely limited though there were many extremely hot scenes that were just a taste of what was to come.An enjoyable read that I recommend.Note: This book was provided as part of a book tour with no expectation of a positive review.
