Another Amanda Ashley's book that I enjoyed but didn't like the ending. What is up with that? LOL. I like my endings to be neatly wrapped with no questions hanging in the air. That didn't happen with this one. However, I can't say what my questions are because it would be telling some spoilers with the book - and I hate to do that. Let's just say that it didn't end to my satisfaction, and it made me say, "What??...This is the end??" It ended so abruptly that I was caught off guard.
Cara is the daughter of Roshan and Brenna from Night's Kiss (which I reviewed earlier here). She is a twenty-two year old virgin who is a librarian. Nothing wrong with those two aspects of her life - in fact I liked that she was so innocent. She wanders into the Nocturne Club looking for a diversion from her sheltered life. Instead she finds "a dark, seductive stranger whose touch entices her beyond the safety she's always known..."
Vincent is a relatively new vampire with only a year under his belt. This is the first time I have ever read about a hero that is so young in vampire years. However, he has unimaginable powers because he was brought over by an ancient vampiress. "Cara's beauty and bewitching innocence call to his mind, his heart...his blood."
Cara doesn't know her parents are vampires - they have kept it hidden from her for twenty-two years (can you really do that?). After she discovers their secrets, she has a hard time accepting them, which I think I would too. However, after going over everything in her life - her parents actions, aversion to sunlight, never eating, etc. - she doesn't see the same characteristics in Vincent. Is she blind? Even after her father tells her that Vincent is a vampire, she doesn't believe it.
The suspense in the story was good. However, I kind of saw it coming. I liked all the characters in the book - especially revisiting Roshan and Brenna. Vincent was a great hero, and his feelings about revealing himself to Cara were realistic. Some of the happenings in the book weren't explained thoroughly - at least for my liking. But everything flowed smoothly.
I am hesitant to give this book a 3 rating - however, I did enjoy the read - it was fun, suspenseful, and I liked the relationship between Cara and Vincent. So, I'll let my rating stand.
(By the way, do you like to koalas?? LOL)

It does sound good even though the ending was messed up.
Great review!
