Oct
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?

My Review:
reading a lot of Contemporary Romance novels I was looking for something different
to read. I was browsing through Amazon when I saw ‘A Shade of Vampire’. First
of all I loved that cover, and secondly I really like vampire stories so I
decided to buy this book. After I read the book descriptions and a view reviews
I got super excited about this one and started reading as soon as possible.
Shade of Vampire’ we meet Sofia Claremont. Sofia’s life has never been easy,
but she has a best friend that makes her days’ worth while. On the day of her
17th birthday, Sofia gets kidnapped and finds herself in a world she
never imagined would be real: an Island filled with vampires. And Sofia is send
to the most powerful vampire of them all: Derek Novak. Now Sofia is a slave,
and her days are spend thinking of ways to escape. But there is something about
Derek Sofia doesn’t want to admit. He has a kindness over him and somehow she
feels safe with him.
really knew what to expect when I started reading ‘A Shade of Vampire’. I was
fascinated by the book descriptions and several reviews, but I hadn’t read a
lot of paranormal romance stories lately and didn’t know if this book would
feel too ‘immature’ for me. Thankfully, I found myself being hooked to the
pages from the very first moment. The fact that I didn’t know what to expect
made this book even better. I obviously hoped for a romance between Sofia and
Derek, but I didn’t know if I would get that. And when I did, I felt absolutely
giddy.
of Vampire’ is a very short novel that makes you want to read the other books
in the series right away. Although there is still a lot I don’t quiet
understand, I loved this book and devoured the pages. Both main characters Sofia
and Derek where really fun to read about and I loved that this book was written
through both point of views. And I definitely loved Derek’s character the most.
though the romance between Sofia and Derek seemed a little strange and sudden,
I totally felt their romance. I didn’t think it was strange or odd at all and I
found myself excited to read the next book. As a vampire book lover myself, I’m
surprised that I have not heard about this book before. I definitely loved it,
and need to start reading book two ASAP.
