Blurb: In
TURNED (Book #1 of the Vampire Journals series), eighteen year old Caitlin
Paine finds herself uprooted from her nice suburb and forced to attend a
dangerous New York City high school when her Mom moves again. The one ray of
light in her new surroundings is Jonah, a new classmate who takes an instant
liking to her. But before their romance can blossom, Caitlin suddenly finds
herself changing. She is overcome by a superhuman strength, a sensitivity to
light, a desire to feed--by feelings she does not understand. She seeks answers
to what's happening to her, and her cravings lead her to the wrong place at the
wrong time. Her eyes are opened to a hidden world, right beneath her feet, thriving
underground in New York City. She finds herself caught between two dangerous
covens, right in the middle of a vampire war. It is at this moment that Caitlin
meets Caleb, a mysterious and powerful vampire who rescues her from the dark
forces. He needs her to help lead him to the legendary lost artifact. And she
needs him for answers, and for protection. Together, they will need to answer
one crucial question: who was her real father? But Caitlin finds herself caught
between two men as something else arises between them: a forbidden love. A love
between the races that will risk both of their lives, and will force them to
decide whether to risk it all for each other...
**Review**: Another book with an interesting summary, but
when read is quite disappointing. The editing definitely needs work. There are words in sentences that should not be
there and that makes it hard to understand where the writer is going. It was
also overly descriptive with things that didn't matter when the focus needed to
be more on the main plots. One of the main love interests is shoved
into the last few chapter's and after barely meeting they profess their undying
love for each other. I don't enjoy that kind of last minute soul mate stuff. Regardless, the plot is interesting enough for me to give the second
book a shot and find it worth a read if you're in need of something different.
