Centuries ago ten powerful vampire gods first walked the earth;
their blood thirst knew no boundaries.
The destruction of mankind was inevitable. Recognizing their weakness, they selected twelve
wise human beings to transform with their godly blood. These twelve, known as The Old Ones and The
Council, govern The Ten. A blood lottery
appeasing The Ten’s hunger was set forth into the human world and passed down every
fifth generation, continuing into the present day.
All of Beth Ryan’s life a mysterious mist watched over her, a
mist she believed to be a vampire. On a
cold winter night, she comes face to face with Philippe Delon, a 700 year old
vampire with a human soul. Beth is certain
Philippe is the vampire behind the mist.
She is drawn to him, accepting his immortality without question or
fear.
Beth and Philippe cannot deny their love for each other, nor
do they try to fight it. Within days of
their encounter, Beth accepts Philippe’s invitation to move into his mansion. The
mansion unlocks the door to the vampire world and exposes secrets from Beth’s
past. Within its walls, she learns the
true identity of the mist, her link to the blood lottery, and betrayal of her
loved ones. Surrounded by lies, Beth stands before The Council begging for resolution.
Review:
This book had me on the edge of my seat wanting more! It is a
little slow at first but trust me it picks up and it is important to get all
the back story and what happened when she was a child. There are some great
twists along the way and wow I did not see them coming at all.
The characters are well developed, complex and intriguing. There
is also a few different layers to the story so once you think you have it all
figured out it changes and keeps you guessing. This is not your average
everyday vampire story! It has a bit of a different take on vampires and I love
it! This is a book I would defiantly recommend that you read.
