title: Eternal Shadows
author: Martin, Kate
description: "I was a monster. And in that moment, leaning against Rhys's warm body, feeling his unnaturally cool breath against my face . . . I knew I would give in." Vampires aren't supposed to be real, and Kassandra is not supposed to be one of them. But on the morning of her eighteenth birthday she wakes with fangs, a hunger for blood, and a body with abilities she can't control. Turned by the irritating, yet handsome, Rhys O'Shea, Kassandra struggles to balance her former human life with her new life as one of the undead. With the world at war, the vampires have stepped in--but if the existence of the supernatural is exposed, then an entirely new battle will erupt. A battle for survival that will forever alter the future. But the past may be just as dangerous. Kassandra can't stop the dreams of a young Irish girl in the medieval countryside, a girl who smiles when Rhys comes near, nor can she shake a looming sense of doom. The last time she felt this dark chill her mother died, and now Kassandra could be next. "...an entertaining YA vampire romance that will have you eager to turn the pages to see what will happen next. I give Eternal Shadows five stars..." ~ Sabrina Benulis, author of ARCHON
