On the evening of Sofia Claremont's seventeenth birthday,
she is sucked into a nightmare from which she cannot wake.
A quiet evening walk along a beach brings her face to face
with a dangerous pale creature that craves much more than her blood.
She is kidnapped to an island where the sun is eternally
forbidden to shine.
An island uncharted by any map and ruled by the most
powerful vampire coven on the planet. She wakes here as a slave, a captive in
chains.
Sofia's
life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn when she is the one selected out of
hundreds of girls to join the harem of Derek Novak, the dark royal Prince.
Despite his addiction to power and obsessive thirst for her
blood, Sofia
soon realizes that the safest place on the island is within his quarters, and
she must do all within her power to win him over if she is to survive even one
more night.
Will she succeed? ...or is she destined to the same fate
that all other girls have met at the hands of the Novaks?

This being the first in a series, and leaving off with
a bit of a cliffhanger, I can’t wait to see what Forrest does with this world
and the characters in the next few books.

Even though it’s a small book, I think that A
Shade of Vampire has all the qualities of a book twice its size. It had good world building, good writing, and
a good story line. I loved how Forrest
managed to explain the world and situation without making it boring, and how
she moved the story line along quickly and efficiently. With this being such a short book, it is hard
to not write an insta-love, but Forrest did a great job of building and growing
the romance so it didn’t come across of too sudden or fake. The staging was awesome, and the ending was a
completely crazy and thrilling. But it
was also a happy, sweet ending.
Forrest did a fabulous job of developing her
characters. I really loved the romance,
and Derek and Sofia . Derek was nice, caring, sexy, yes, but also
cute and adorable. Sofia was strong, defiant, and didn’t take
any crap. Their romance was so sweet and
genuine, and believable, it was so nice to read.
