Synopsis:
KAT CROSSE IS FALLING FOR THE SEXIEST MAN AROUND.
THE ONLY PROBLEM IS, HE HAS TO KILL HER.
The Crosse triplets have had a h__ of a year. To their shock, their grandfather Darkheart revealed that the sisters hail from a long line of vampire slayers. According to legend, one of them is the new slayer. One can heal vampires. And one will turn into a blood-sucking vamp.
Professional vampire-hunter Jack Rawls believes sexy, cocktail-loving Kat is the vamp-to-be. Desperate not to turn fang, Kat enlists the wary Jack to help her find Maplesburg's "vamp zero," Cyrus Kane. With Kane dead--permanently--she might be able to stop the prophecy in its tracks. But Kat hadn't counted on her growing feelings for Jack, or the charisma and true evil of Kane....
Comments:
I heard about this trilogy through last year's blogs, found the books, read the first one, and was stuck in "Megan" (the first sister) mode, so I took a break. I finally moved on to this one (obviously, since I'm reviewing it). I have to say I had a lot of trouble liking Kat. Part of it, I suspect may have been intended since it's written in first person and she doesn't really like herself. I think another part is because her personality's so drastically different than mine... it was more difficult to connect.
The great gift is the passion for reading. It is cheap [Hah! It most certainly is not!], it consoles, it distracts, it excites. It gives knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is moral illumination. ~ Elizabeth Hardwick
