**Review written for an originally posted on my blog, Book Bliss.I received a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased and honest review**Review: 3.5 starsGeneral: I have to admit I was afraid to read it, I don’t like that it switched characters. I love multi character series but after spending 1 and 2 with the same set I was unprepared for the shift. That out of the way it didn’t hurt the series at all! It took me a little bit to get into the story due to it but it was a fantastic read once the characters won me over. Also, I didn’t love Julie so those things lead to my rating. As well as my overall distaste for cliffhangers. I do think it’s a writing pattern in this series though so I will have to get used to it since the writing is great.I enjoyed the shift to vampires. As with the characters I was apprehensive because I chose the series based on the paranormal element, but was easily won over since we’ve known Julie throughout the journey. The story had a lot of fantastic tension in it and fantastic supporting characters.Characters: Julie- I don’t have a lot of positives to go with Julie. She felt identical to Anna and to me that felt like a miss- almost like I was reading about the same female except for the overall powers and a few smaller reactions the two females were interchangeable to me in so many ways.Torch: Torch was the savior in this book. I loved that he was dual race, allowing him to be fascinating in so many. He too mirrored the previous boys as well and that was a bit of a problem for me. I know al characters are similar somewhere but his alpha side, while sexy as hell, definitely mirrored Eli’s strongly. His passion for everything was evident the whole time and I loved that about him even more than the sexy alpha male part.
