I love Dale Mayer's books and this is yet again high up on my list of things that I enjoyed from her. It is the first book in a series, and this one happens to be a Young Adult Series. I won't say that I don't read YA books, but they really have to pull me in for me to read them. And, of course, this is exactly what Ms. Mayer does. Once again, her characters are so well developed and believable for a series, even if it does have a paranormal twist to it. Tessa is not only a 16-year-old girl, which makes life difficult to begin with, but she is torn between two worlds to boot. Being a vampire makes life even more difficult when you think back to being a teenager. Not only are your hormones raging, but add vampire to that resume and it would become even more hard to live as a teenager. It's no wonder that Tessa wants to hang out in the human world and attempt to be normal. Of course that's not going to be possible, and while her human date helps to get the ball rolling, as the book progresses you see Tessa go through some changes that are believable and almost endearing to see as she goes through the process of 'growing.  This is a quick read, but I would recommend that you do read it, especially since it's free at the moment. Be warned though. this does end on a cliffhanger, and so you will have to read the second book, to find out what happens
