I'm shocked this book has such a high rating. There was absolutely no substance to the characters or plot. I'm obsessed with vampire books and couldn't even finish it. Very disappointing!

A different type of book for me to read. Aaron's life changes when he is shot trying to save beautiful woman from some not so savory cops. Michelle is a vampire and changes Aaron when she realizes that he will die if she doesn't do something.

There is a lot of sex in this book between vampires and also vampires and humans. It was interesting with the drama in real life and also with in each of them.

It’s just another boring normal night in the life of Aaron Pilan. He’s being groped at work by a regular restaurant patron, his roommate calls telling him to bring home beer, his ex-girlfriend is hanging out at his apartment waiting for him to get home so she can ignore him and Aaron is too apathetic to change any of it. Lucky for him, as he’s leaving work he encounters a sexy woman, but before he can even think of approaching her he witnesses two men attack her and he takes a fatal gunshot to the chest. In an instant, instead of letting him die for her mistake, the woman decides to save him, to make him like her. Aaron wakes up three days later no longer normal, boring, apathetic or human.

Talk about being in the wrong place at the wrong time and yet having everything turn out better than expected. Aaron was just minding his own business leaving work when he sees a gorgeous blond walking down the street. He’s captivated by her, but just as it looks like she’s, wonder of wonders, going to come talk to him, a car with two corrupt cops pulls up and demands her attention. When they get out and attempt to assault her, she takes them down, but not before Aaron is shot in the chest. Feeling remorse for her part in his impending death Michelle decides to save him. In doing so he will be bound to her for all time, she the Master, he the slave. It sounds like a bad thing, but after some rocky patches they end up rubbing along together quite well.

This was a very enjoyable read. The writing was smooth, the plot flowed quickly, the characters were interesting and the multiple POVs were insightful. I happen to enjoy multiple POVs, too. I look forward to continuing this series.

1.5 stars that I generously boosted to 2 stars, as I have read worse books...but not by much. I didn't like the vampirism in this book (I'm more into Anita Blake, Vampire Diaries, etc. sort of vamps), I didn't like the main characters (I liked Aaron a little moreso than Michelle--she was just annoying to me), and I didn't think the plot was fleshed out well. I couldn't stand
Michelle's method of punishing of Delia. Real sexual violence and threats like that do NOT trip my trigger. I thought it was just cruel.
I also didn't like the writing--to me it was vague and repetitive. It just didn't hold my attention. By the middle of the book, I would just sort of read the first two sentences of a paragraph and then skim the rest. So that's that. No more of this author for me. Sorry, Travis.
