liked this book. I had to reread some of it in the middle but all in all I liked it, It was nice not having a predictable story line, Each character had it good amp bad sides, It was very hard to draw a line, defining the good guy/ bad guy, Erin will do anything to find out who she is, Edward is so busy atoning to God that he doesn't realize he's trying to be God, Psycho Uber Vampire twins. Twist and turns were great, I never knew who to trust, What pulled me in is the prologue that is at the end of Alice Stood Up Vampires and the Life of Erin Rose Short Story.
I loved this book. I love Erin Rose and how she can't remember her previous life, it is a good story, Some of the writing is choppy, but it kept my attention as I didn't go to sleep last night at all due to the fact I had to know what happened next.
I have mixed feelings about this book, For the most part, the writing was MEH at best, The character development felt hurried and halfassed for everyone including the heroine, The relationships were flat and barely sketched in, On the plus side, the plot was good, though rushed, and the premise was refreshingly unique for a vampsarenormalpartofsociety supernatural thriller, Forof the book I was waiting for it to be over, . . but it it finished strong enough that Ill probably end up reading the sequel, It just wont be at the top of my list, I received this ebook as a giveaway on Librarything, This book is about a girl named Erin that lost her memory and really doesn't know who she is so she tries to search for her past.
This book brings you into a whole new world of vampires called "Sanguan" and "Spectavi" and they are constantly at war,saw Erin finds out that she is being uses by so many people.
The First chapter really didn't catch my attention,and I didn't really know what was going on but then as I read everything came through,in the beginning I kinda throught
this book was like "oh another story about a friend missing in a vampire club and she falls in love with the guy" THIS WAS NOTHING LIKE THAT its like an investigation story.
I'm so Speechless I don't know what to say everyone should read this, I really liked this book and will be starting, I HAVE to see what happened, This was a unique spin on a paranormal suspense filled vampire novel, Erin Rose wakes up and doesn't know who she is, For two years, she builds a relationship with a man named Todd and a girl named Kristi, Little does Erin know that her memory has been taken from her by a most powerful and evil vampire named Edmond, Erin finally learns the truth about her past and what happens next leaves you wanting to read further on in this series, Erin Rose is a twenty something who woke up in an apartment with no memory of how she got there, the belongings in the apartment, the clothes she has on or the face staring back at her out of the mirror.
The only reason she knows her name is because her wallet with her Identification was on the dresser,
That's how the story begins and she restarts a life with no memory of her past in this world ruled by two camps of vampires.
The Sanguans who still drink from humans, legally between four and five AM, and the Spectavi, I think Spectavi is supposed to be vampire for vegan though lines blur as the tale unfolds,
I give this a five out of five star for world building and four for the protagonist who seems to wander through the story becoming a serial victim.
Four because she develops later, The alternate belief systems adopted by the vampires is interesting as is the political twisting in which they engage, I recommend this series to vampire aficionados, Enjoy.

Once I started this book, I had a hard time putting it down, It had good momentum and unexpected plot twists, I found the worldbuilding really interesting I love vampire lore and vampire origin stories and this one was fairly unique in my opinion,
I did feel that there were too many religious overtones, especially with Erin, Since she only remembersyears of her life, how did she come to have such a strong conviction
But overall, this was a great read that rises above the cliches of vampire fiction.
I can't wait to read more about this world! Okay, I loved this book, The writing felt detached, however, it should feel that way since Erin is detatched from the world, I would have liked more personality from her, They story line, people, vampires, and ending were all original, That is why I really enjoyed the book, I just hate that the character development was so poor, I didn't really get to know anyone in the book, Hopefully we learn more about everyone in the next book, I enjoyed this book even though the ending drove me nuts!!! I look forward to finding out if things set in motion are going in positive or negative direction in the next book.
It was a great set up book and I felt like I was taking the journey with Erin, This is not your typical vampire story, which I appreciated, I found the story intriguing enough that I continued reading even through the slower parts of the book, Since Erin has amnesia of some sort, I felt very connected to her throughout the story never truly knowing who was trustworthy until the end.
I wouldn't say this book was amazing, but it was good enough that i definitely want to continue reading the series, I really enjoyed this, although it did take a while for me to get properly into it, Once I did, I was hooked,
I like the world that was created, and the descriptions and flaws of both humans and yes the undead, I'm definitely going for the next book soon! Can't wait,
This first novel in the series was a freebie on Amazon, In this world, there are two kinds of vampires, The Spectavi, who drink synthetic blood, are very spiritual and advertise that they are out to protect humans from the Sanguans, The Sanguans are the bad vampires of the story that drink human blood and always kill those they feed from, The Spectavi hunt down the Sanguans and kill them for harming humans,
Erin wakes up one morning with no memory of who she is or what happened to her, She is in a white, sparse apartment with a credit card and a drivers license with the name Erin Rose on it, When she looks in the mirror, she has no memory of who she is looking at and is very selfconscious of a scar on her neck from a vampire bite.
A year and a half later, Erin has been trying to find out what happened to her, She went to the police and the Spectavi but no one can help her, So, she has taken it upon herself to go to Sanguans night clubs and ask around if anyone know what might have happened, While one the way to a club, Erin witnesses an old Sanguan killed by the Spectavi, Thinking this strange, she hunts down another Sanguan that was at the scene of the murder but was let go free,
Erin has stumbled into a war between the Spectavi and the Sanguan, Erin becomes caught in the middle when the Sanguan that is helping her find her past identifies her as a favorite human of the leader of the Spectavi.
Erin goes undercover to find the truth but gets more than she was expecting,
I really liked this story, I got sucked in trying to figure out what happened to Erin, I liked how the Sanguans were defined as evil yet a lot of them really were just trying to survive like regular human, The only thing that I didnt like was how wishywashy Erin was, One moment she is all about finding out what happened to her then the next she doesnt want to live outside her happy little bubble.
Having said that, I am really excited to read the next book in this series and find out what happens next,
I received this book for free from the Library Thing Member Giveaway in exchange for an honest review,
Must read!!!
This book is amazing! I couldnt put it down, Everything about Erin was hypnotizing and wonderful, I loved the plot twist at the end, You have to read to understand, On to the next book, Cant wait. Erin wakes up one day in a strange apartment, with no idea who she is or where she came from, The only clues are a drivers license with a name on it and some bite marks on her neck, She sets out to talk to the two groups of vampires to see if they can help her find her old life, When the "good" vampires tell them they can't help her, she tries the Sanguans, This changes her life for good, I really liked this book, vampires with a difference, .
