In this book Caroline is living with a family since her family was killed in front of her at three years old by vampires. She has been told how awful they are since she was three. She Clay, and David go to a Vampire Hunter School to train how to kill vampires. On a break from school the three go out and Caroline gets taken by a vampire. She wakes up in a cell and Nicholas wants to see her. He is intrigued by her psychic abilities. The more she sees and talks to him she wonders if sh has been lead to believe wrong things. There is a fight and Nicholas is as violence as ever but not to her. Now she feels she is fighting for the wrong side. Caroline wants to know the whole truth, not what she's been told but the whole truth. She hopes Nicholas will help as her feels for him increase.

I really enjoyed the story. I liked how the author offered developed characters and built the relationship. It leaves you eager to read more.

Caroline is a character I really like from the start. She is young but very intelligent and strong. She was raised to believe vampires are all evil and trained to kill vampires. When she has the opportunity to meet some, including the master vampire Nicholas, she began to realize that there were both good and bad vampires. Caroline develops strong feelings for Nicholas and it really complicates her life. She has to make tough choices and realizes that some of the people she loved are not worthy of her trust.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

Carolines family was slaughtered in front of her at 3 years old by vampires. She is now in a school for hunters. Her and her closest friends go on a vacation and gets jealous of the girls hanging on her best friend David. She feels that he's picked getting lucky over her. So she leaves the bar and ends up being kidnapped by a vampire. Everything she thought was true of these monsters, aren't what she's been taught her whole life.

WHAT AN AWESOME SERIES!!!. It's worth the loss of sleep.. great job,,,Lucy Lyons!!!!! HIGHLY recommend to YA to Adults.

This was a great non-sexual book. Caroline is learning to be a vampire hunter and is on break with her friends when she kidnapped by vampires. She finds out that everything that she has learned so far in regards to vampires that is not accurate. She meets Nicholas who has just been waken from a fifty year sleep. He teaches her that not all vampires are monsters.
The thing that I really liked about this book was that you could not guess what was going to happen next. I cannot wait to read the second book in this series.

This is a very addictive start to the series. The main character Caroline is a very strong female character and it is written so we see her coming into her own and questioning what she originally believed was the truth about the evil enemy that she is training to hunt. By the end of the book you just want to know more about her growing powers. The relationship between her and Nick is so minor in the book. I do like her relationship with the other vampires like Rachael.

I was seriously looking for another great series to "sink my teeth into" so to speak and I have found it. It's so easy to read you don't have to stop and figure out who's who and what's going on. It's all right there and it sucks you in as you continue to read. The characters are super relatable and are even more complex when you get to know what's going on. There's betrayal, romance, alliances forming, fighting action as well. A great combination that fits really great together.

I received an advanced reader copy of this book and have opted to provide this honest review.

I love vampires. Books, movies, stories...there is so much history, drama, and allure to them. I was a little skeptical when I first began and it was anti-vampire, vampire hunters, and 'vampires are evil'. But, that didn't last long.
A fun, fast-paced story. I can't wait for the next chapter...

Read in less than 2 hours

Book 1 vampire story nothing like the usual ones, it actually makes you think and realize thier blood for life is no different than our eatting animals.
Both are gross, sadly we are the real predators...great story, ignoremy opinions im tired, bc I couldn't put this book down til I devoured it completely.

Young Caroline is taught to b a vampire hunter she knows nothing of the real world or the vampire world till the first night of their vacation she is kidnapped by vampires. That's when she starts to realize what she was taught is nothing compared to what she is finding out I can't wait to read the next book as Caroline gets older and see which world she will choose will she follow her heart or her fear? You will not b disappointed

I really liked this one. Even though it was a bit shorter than what I'm used to, I seriously engaged in the story the second it started. Hooking intro, likable characters and a light-hearted sense of humor with both dark and hot themes. Fast-paced and to the point, with a lot of shocking reveals of some characters. Recommended for vampire fans.

Vampires killed her parents and she is taken in by vampire hunters but her hatred changes when she gives herself to a vampire group and she learns so much but when her best friend and brother is taken by another she has to save him.Will she be able to save him and keep her vampire lover. A wonderful tale about what you would do for your loved ones

Caroline, orphaned as a toddler when vampires kill her parents, trains to be a hunter. While on vacation with other hunter students, she is taken by a vampire to feed the awakening City Master.
Caroline learns even vampires can be good or bad. That just maybe the hunter school she is attending doesn't tell the whole story.
It has a steady pace and enough romance to keep me reading and wanting more.

The description of the book made me look forward to reading it. I didn't care for the main character who is whinny and supposed to have some training protecting herself. The characters need more developing. In all honesty I couldn't finish the book. I read 75% and was so bored I couldn't bring myself to finish it. I think the author could have done so much more with this book. I really wanted to like this book and finish it. Nothing got my attention. I put it down then picked it up again hoping it would get better. I think she just moved to fast and develop the story enough. Better luck on the next one. I wish you well.

The story was better than I expected. The beginning gave a good introduction into the story and the topics. I think that Caroline's character could have been better developed, and the story would have been better if we learned more about how she thinks. The beginning was great, it had a good timeline. However, the middle was very slow and not the best. The story picks back up at the end and has many surprises that I didn't see coming. Overall a good book to read.

Really enjoyed this story,I so disappointed that David is turning out to be the way he is...Want her to grow up some,an get back to the vampires , with her being able to be a stronger kick ass women!!

Not very long, but enjoyable enough to read it through in one sitting. Engaging, makes you wonder what will happen next to Caroline after she sees the world of her sworn enemy, and it's not what she was taught.

the storyline was great, but have a issue with minors being used. have noticed this in a couple of Lucy Lyons books. granted they are in training and trainees are more likely to get into trouble. look forward to see how these stories progress or change.
