Review: Very Sweet YA Vampire/Romance.  Nice Read For a Pre-Teen/Young Teen Audience.
Rating: 4 out of 5

Brett and Emily are a sweet couple whose story is told by the author's going back and forth telling the tale through the eyes of both of our main characters.Emily is from a family of vampire "chasers" and just days away from her 18th birthday.  Hopeful of being accepted as a chaser along with other family members, she perfects martial arts as a means of strength and endurance along with trying to prove herself worthy.Brett is the young guy who has always been in love with Emily but holds a secret that he doesn't trust with anyone except doctors and his own family.Yager/Williams use a different approach to the twists and/or story-line ideas most YA authors tend to lean towards.  As a young man, Brett suffers from Arthritis and hides it well from his friends.  He pushes through the pain by also partaking in martial arts.As Brett and Emily get closer (especially after a run-in with vampires,) he decides to tell her about his illness.What I like about the book is that it's innocent.  Perfect for pre-teen age groups but not so simplistic that older teens would turn away from.What I REALLY like is the exceptional editing.  With the exception of some minor errors, the book is very clean.  Unheard of these days.  Bravo!Would have liked to have seen more vampire action then there was (in the first half). I'm pleased that the story of Brett and Emily was sweet enough to make the lack of vamps not missed too much, but I would have liked to have seen more.  It does get dicey as things get scary at Emily's party.  It is a shorter story and does focus on the romance more than anything else and done in a wonderful way.All young gals looking for a nice story of a good guy and tough no-nonsense girl should give this one a read!
