Publisher's summary

Girl gone wild…

College is supposed to be a time of discovery, but Danielle Vaughn never imagined it would be like this: Heightened senses, supernatural powers, and a sudden craving for human blood. Dani is a demi-vamp, the daughter of a human psychic and a vampire noble, a living secret kept hidden for 21 years.

As Dani’s heritage manifests itself, her thirst for blood is matched only by her hunger for Chase Diedrick. But as the son of the Vampire Council’s most powerful ruling family, Chase is already promised to another. Dani saw Council politics destroy her mother’s life; she won’t let the same thing happen to her. Besides, there’s no shortage of men who are eager to satisfy her every need, including the alluring vampire Kayden.

Unfortunately, Dani also has no shortage of enemies. Her heightened powers of telepathy and telekinesis attract the attention of a rogue vamp who preys on gifted vampires, absorbing their skills along with their lifeblood. Now, Dani must seek the Council’s help to quickly master her new vampire life…or risk losing it.

This book deserves 10 Stars!!

First off don't listen to the haters they must be listening to some other story because I recently discovered this new author who is quickly becoming one of my favorites she ranks up there with Jeaniene Frost who is my all time favorite! This book was amazing!! It has everything from a great story line, amazing characters, a love triangle, unexpected twist and turns. I love love love it. I love the longer length of the book. It is well worth the credit and it will be a wonderful addition to your collection! Can't wait for the next books in the series. You will not be disappointed.

Awesome narrator she is ranking up there with Tavia Gilbert!

Don't listen to the haters!!

Undecided - Narrator was annoying

Any additional comments?

The narrator was very annoying with her 'valley girl' accent. I do not appreciate her using her girly accent when speaking for all of the male characters! I also do not like the fact that these "strong and power" vampires were unable to keep one girl safe. It is all unrealistic and quite annoying.

Great Story

Interesting story line with well built characters, l couldn't put it down. This is one of my paranormal favorites.

Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!

Danny because she was so sweet and grown up so fast and still so sweet.

What a GREAT STORY!

I absolutely loved this story and the lead character and how she took no ones shit. Definitely recommend!

Interesting vampire book

I listened through Audible. The narrator was perfect for this story. I enjoyed this book until I reached about half way. The female character was inundated with too many males. I started to get bored with the book. Was it necessary to have an ex-boyfriend, a college roomy, four vamps all wanting her? It just went on and on. She is half human and half vampire. She has special awesome powers. The book picked back up in the last three chapters. If not for so many men trying to woo her I would have given this book a five star rating. Love, love bonds, telekinesis, forgiveness, evil, blood, anger. This book was fun.

ok but will not read the 2nd book

The Bad: 1 st the book did not catch my attention at all. I struggled to listen and had to re listen to certain parts because of how bored I got. Danny as the main character was not my favorite .she was a total indecisive slut. she toyed with her friend emotions, Kaiden, and randomly had sex with some guy all in the course of a couple of months.

The good: The sex scenes were good. i liked it a lot. although Danny did have to be the damsel in distress more times than I liked; their was enough times that show she is strong too. Their some very strong characters in the story that are realistic and relatable such as Tessa and Kaiden. What makes this story interesting is that Vampirism is human evolving kind of, human can have powers too, had a pretty easy political system to understand. The Narrator Neva was very talented I loved how she made the men sound too.

Supporting characters are not likable

OK, so it's common to have good guys and bad guys, I get it. But almost all the supporting characters are unlikable and spineless. It's a little much and made the overall story unlikable although I really wanted to like it because I like the main character.

IT BLEW ME AWAY

I can safely say that my Library is overflowing with Vampire book/series but NONE, and I mean NONE, had the same impact on me that this minute by minute, pulse-pounding, gut-wrenching phenomenal and intense listen had with it's romantic and emotional heart-wrenching twists and turns, revelations, surprises, secrets and shocks. Cat Miller has created a new Vampire world with it's Laws, Dictates, Rules, Prophecies, Villains, Heroes, Heroines and innocent bystanders that'll suck you into the non-stop dramas and dilemmas that's forced, welcomed or thrust upon so many of it's characters. Then, at the end if the listen, you're left emotionally drained and dazed that the story has not ended..... but rather the battle has just begun.

I'm not going to give any further details as it just wouldn't be enough, or fair to give clues that may rob you of the excitement and pleasure of finding out what a gem this awesome listen is but I will say that it's also an absolute bargain at $7.34 for over 15 hours of pure paranormal escapism at it's best.... including any flaws.

LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT!

I loved it all, it is different and an entirely fresh perspective on the vamp thing. I am hooked on this series. The characters are rich, real, and refreshing. The love story part is great and angsty. I loved each character and hope they will have their own books. Can't wait to see where this goes. Not your normal vamp series, hoping for the greatness to continue. Book 2 here I come.
