Summary of the Book:
Can she keep the curse from taking the last of her humanity?
Raven awakens from death. Her family is dead. She is hurled into a world of vampires and hunters.
Raven’s family was celebrating her birthday. A bittersweet night as her father was soon to join the fight for the American Revolution. A knock at the door changed everything.
A group of vampire hunters come to the aid of Raven’s family attacked by one of the undead. Too little too late. James finds Raven who’s been bitten. For selfish needs, he lets the vampire curse consume her.
Raven fights to control the burning hunger for blood and save her humanity. James is cold and unsympathetic, but scared and alone, he is the only one she can rely on.
James trains Raven to hunt the undead. His only goal is revenge for his son.
Will he eventually honor the hunter duties and kill Raven?
Will Raven be able to keep the vampire curse from destroying her soul?
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. I am always up for a good vampire book and this one a little different then some. They are called Lilin instead. The main character is Raven who is a human girl celebrating with family before she is turned into a vampire. She taken way and caged and trained to hunt Lilin by warriors for God. She is doing her best to hold on to her humanity and survive but she struggles with what she is becoming. She starts out weak but grows in strength. I was left with a few questions but this is only the first book.
My Rating of the Book: 4 Stars
