Ava Markham is beautiful, savvy, chic, and more at home with Kate Spade than with the idea of fangs and fur. She can't get quite used to the fact that some of her closest friends have crossed over to the Other side. Then one night she is attacked by a rogue vampire, and her deepest fears are realized when her body begins a dangerous transformation from human to immortal—a change she cannot survive without the help of an alluring stranger who comes to her rescue.
Vladimir Rurikovich, an elite member of the European Council of Vampires, is on the prowl for a murderous vampire fugitive on the night he saves Ava from the clutches of death. It takes just one look for Dima to know he cannot live another eight centuries without the stunning and seductive Ava—until he discovers a secret about her bloodline that could change everything.

— RT Book Reviews" Though I found the main character mostly unlikable, the book was written well and paced well. "
— Sydney, 8/12/2011" It was pretty good, except Ava got on my nerves basically constantly; her 'I'm better than everyone else and all the Others are evil and stupid' attitude that she had for almost the whole book annoyed me to no end. "
— Heather, 7/30/2011" I quite liked the male lead and Ava could have grown on me slowly but they jump into the sack far too quickly with very little build just because they fine each other irressistable after approximatly 12 concious hours together if that. "
