Short Synopsis: Axelia, otherwise known as "Zee" sneaks out of the house one night, to meet up with a mysterious boy. Little did Zee know, it would be a night that changed her life forever.

My Thoughts: An intriguing story about a young girl who gets involved in the world of vampires, and ancient prophecies.

Zee is just an average teen, studying abroad. Zee gets lost one day coming home from a shop, and is met by a handsome boy, who helps her home. The boy persuades Zee to meet him again the next night, and Zee reluctantly agrees.
As the boy leads Zee astray, Zee discovers that he is a monster. A vampire, that only wanted to feed on her blood. Frantic, Zee falls into a sacred well filled with blood, and emerges as a vampire. Zee struggles to make sense of the issue as she is hunted by soldiers, and the vampire monarchy.
She is met by the queen who sentences her to death. Trapped in a cell with the boy, Zee, has no choice as she awaits for the sun.
When Zee finds out that the sun does not harm her, she escapes, and is rescued by a family of vampires.  As the monarchy is on constant search for Zee, Zee discovers an ancient prophecy, that a vampire will be born with no sire, will come to destroy the vampire race forever. Now, Zee and Lucas, her only friend and a fellow vampire that helped save her, is on the run from the monarchy, and must do everything they can to survive.

It took me a bit to get into this novel, but once I got going, I couldn't put this book down. Zee is a fierce loyal character, who will do just about anything for her friends. I loved reading about the crazy adventures that Zee gets mixed up in. It was interesting to read who Zee could trust and who would turn their back on her to help their own agendas. 

I also enjoyed reading the family of vampires and how they were involved with Zee's life. It was curious reading about how the monarchy worked, and regardless of other people's reasoning and what it could mean, the monarchy was only set on thinking what is best for them. 

I loved reading about Lucas and Zee. They had great chemistry, and it was infuriating to read that even though the two had obvious strong feelings for each other, neither did much about it. I was also a bit disappointed when a lot of the characters were killed off. I get that they were fighting for Zee's safety, but I had kind of wished that they had survived. There were a lot of surprising twists in this novel, that I couldn't wait to find out what happens next. The ending was very shocking, and I look forward to reading more of Zee's adventures.

Would I recommend this book: Yes

Rating: I give this book a 4/5.
