True love . . . and an undying obsession
Catlyn Youngblood has a secret life. Despite being a natural-born vampire hunter like her two older brothers, Cat has fallen for Jesse—an ageless boy from a centuries-old vampire clan.
Cat’s job cataloguing rare, mystical texts at a bookstore allows her to meet with Jesse alone every evening. But when girls who look disturbingly similar to Cat start disappearing from town, Cat and Jesse discover frightening clues to their whereabouts within the book collection. Together, they must stop a crazed man from realizing his dark scheme— one that would claim Cat’s life.
I was a huge Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan (the TV series, not the movie), so when I saw this book, I had to read it. Cat is a vampire hunter, only she doesn't want to be one--mostly because the guy she's in love with is one step away from being a full-fledged vampire. What I really liked about this book is that Cat pretends she doesn't remember her past with Jesse after her brother wiped her memory (a little Van Helsing trick that he has.) But she does remember Jesse. She remembers everything, or at least she thinks she does. No spoilers, but there's a great twist in this story that I didn't see coming, and I absolutely loved it.
Cat thinks her relationship with Jesse and her distrust for her brothers are the worst of her problems, but when a local man dies and sells his rare book collection to the bookstore where Cat gets a job, Cat discovers her secrets aren't secrets anymore. Now she has to try to save what she's been protecting, and it only digs up more secrets she's not prepared for.
Initially, I was a little bothered by the fact that I felt like there was a story from Cat's past that wasn't told, but as I kept reading I understood why it wasn't revealed to the reader until later. It totally made sense for the story.
I'm not a big horse person, but I should also mention that this book has a lot for horse lovers since Cat lives on a ranch. So if you like horses, you'll appreciate that subplot.
Overall, this was a quick read with some exciting twists at the end.
