I was given this book to read through We Love YA Books ARR for an honest review, thank you.



I was going to write a long review about this book, but I found another reviewer named D.M. Dutcher, who pretty much said everything that I would have said. So I will just point you in the direction of his excellent review:

I may come back to add a bit more to this review later, but pretty much this is it.

I will say that this book was very annoying at many points. There was a lot of drama, screaming, yelling and fighting and I had to put the book down many times because it was driving me batty. In the end the only way Amelia got any control over her life was to turn as vicious as Mitchell with her own power. I find the message this book sends to young adults that power and control is the way to behave in a relationship very disturbing. I would not recommend this book to young adults at all. I give this story 2.5 stars rounded up to three just for the unique idea of the connection between the soul's and how that works.

This story embodies the phrases, “There is a fine line between love and hate,” and, “Be careful what you wish for.” The synopsis very accurately depicts the plot-line of this book. Chaos erupts and emotions run high, as the destinies of two very different people finally merge. Secrets are revealed, painful pasts are faced, and closets full of skeletons all break free at once.

Amelia is a pretty relatable female-lead character. She's stubborn, strong-willed, determined and loyal. Even though she's found her soulmate, she tries to break free from him, simply on the principle of not belonging to someone else. Mitchell is a pretty accurate vampire guy, I'd think. He's possessive, emotional, stubborn, and hot-headed. Together, they make an explosive combination, that easily creates an interesting story. With the help of some fantastic side characters, this intense page-turner quickly grips you, and keeps you gasping in surprise.

Ashley Stoyanoff has created an incredible story with this book. She put a fantastic new spin on vampires and soulmates, giving an imaginative and romantic twist to an old myth. With quick writing and a good mix of humor to balance out the seriousness of the situation, this book quickly grabbed my attention, and left me very thankful it's only the first in a series. Overall, I really enjoyed it, and I would recommend it to any YA/NA paranormal or vampire fan.

Yes another vampire story, but this one is different. Way different! A young girl gets a scholarship to a college, but things just seem too good to be real. In a sense, she is right but it is nothing her wildest dreams would come up with. Reincarnated, her soulmate has found her. Problem is that he is a vampire and she might be a witch. Oh, and she has no clue about any of this. Take all that and mix in someone after her life and you get a unique and very interesting tale.

It’s not too fast or too slow. It keeps moving along at a good pace though you’ll find yourself wanting to keep reading to find out what the next secret is. The storyline was very well developed with several sub-plots going on. The author did an excellent job of weaving them together and creating a backstory that was brought in throughout the book.

The characters were strong. I do have to admit that I was very frustrated with Mitch. I wanted to slap the daylights out of. At first I wanted to say that his character acted too unrealistic, but the more I read I realized that there are people out there acting like him. Still want to slap him, vampire or not.

I really did enjoy this and can’t wait to read the next one which is now on my wish list. If you like vampire stories and looking for something different, you really need to check this out.

Note: I received this book from participating in a book tour with no expectation of a positive review. ( )
