Written by Tash MOriginally posted on confessionsfromromaholics dot comARC provided kindly by publicist for reviewing purposesI got something a little bit different here today for the latest edition to Confessions from Romaholic. I have a new adult paranormal here which is something that you don't see often yet in the category of New Adult and it is by local author Melissa Crowe. I'm a sucker for paranormal stories so it was a no-brainer to accept this and be part of this tour.Vaughn was forced to change by a vampire and ever since he has kept his emotions closed off ... until he meet Nicola and reveals his secret and she accepts him. Now he wants to become human again so he can experience everything he was robbed of all those years ago. He believes it's the only way he can be with Nicola who wants to be changed. Knowing how hard it will be for her, despite  having support as a fledgling, he makes the hardest decision for them. He will go to the Creator and plead his case to be changed back to a human after talking it over with Anna, his friend and fellow vampire, who knows the inner workings of the community. He doesn't bargain for the adventure and decisions he will face in order to become human again.For such a short book, it is jam packed full of adventures, decisions  and secrets. It only just over 100 pages and in those pages we go to four different countries and get a course on Egyptian mythological lore with a twist. The twist is one that may surprise some people but fits with the world that author Melissa Crowe has created. It is hard to believe this is a new adult book as the characters have been written as miles away from their physical age in terms of maturity and their actions. This book is for the fans of the books in the adult genre that have similar stories to tell. You can't go wrong with this book and I look forward to the next installment to see what happens next. My only issue is that I wished it was longer so that we got more of Vaughn and Nicola and the others.4 couples and note that these books are closely connected and to get the tiny details so you know the whole story, you need to read the first book. Each book is a new chapter to the overall story  with the same  main characters and references to the previous book so you may get a little bit lost without reading from the start. It is not major but you will wonder what happened in the last book, especially how exactly Vaughn and Nicola meet. The book has a happy-for-now ending as there is more to this story and leaves on a cliffhanger that is satisfying for the conclusion of this book.
