Short Synopsis: Sophie is a senior in high school who can think of nothing but graduation. But it isn't until she meets a mysterious stranger named Ian, and her whole world starts to change.

My Thoughts: An interesting vampire tale with a twist with two addicting characters that will leave you curious for more. 

A Curse. It started with a curse centuries ago placed upon the House of Ulster: One more powerful than I will come, She alone will break the spell. With her as guide the dark will align. Destiny. If someone told you that you were the key to an ancient tragedy, what would you do? Sophie is a high school senior with only two things on her mind, graduating from Jefferson High, and moving on, leaving the death of her mother firmly in the past. But the past is not done with Sophie, and she finds herself suddenly thrust into a tragic, Irish love story centuries old. Does she have the strength to accept her part, confront her own past, and rely on someone long forgotten? Ian is a vampire with only one thing on his mind…Sophie. For years, he has watched over Sophie, and protected her from the darkness surrounding her mother’s death. He would like nothing more than to forget the past, but his fate lies with Sophie and her destiny. Can he help Sophie confront her nightmares and not fall in love? Choices. Sophie and Ian will discover that they also have a connection—something that could bind them together forever or rip them apart. What will they choose? Only time will tell. This is their story.

A very different tale about vampires than I am usually accustomed to. I was intrigued with the main characters, Sophie and Ian, and the world that they are trapped in. Sophie thought her whole world was just as normal as could be, until she meets the man of her dreams, literally, named Ian. 

I loved reading how Sophie and Ian finally met face to face, after so many years, and watching their relationship grew. And though it was a cute relationship to read about, I also felt that their relationship moved a little bit too fast. 

And though I loved the originality of the story and what Sophie and Ian goes through, I wasn't too fond of the multiple passages of Italics. I also felt that once Sophie had met Ian, that she sort of neglected her other life with her friends and family, and school.

I was also a bit confused with how her Grandmother knew of Ian but didn't think to tell Sophie the truth. It was interesting to read how Sophie came into her powers, and how she managed to save Ian. I wasn't really satisfied with the ending, and felt that there should have been an alternative. Overall, an entertaining read with unique characters.

Would I recommend this book: Maybe

Rating: I give this book a 3/5.
