Review: A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest

Unknown Book #1
ISBN13: 9781481280761
Genre: YA Paranormal Romance
Review Copy Source: Author
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?
For a shorter novel A SHADE OF VAMPIRE was surprisingly informative and well-paced. Of course there were a few things that could have been taking a little slower or some development that could have worked better if it was spread out a little but it wasn't a big deal for it to happen a little faster. There are two different points of view. Sofia is kidnapped on her 17th birthday by a pompous ass of a vampire who takes her to be part of his brother's harem; unfortunately he also wants Sofia for himself. Derek has been asleep for a very long time. He is nothing like the other vampires and he and Sofia have a pretty instant connection. Their romance is slow, sweet and pretty dangerous. The ending was a bit flat for me but then again I still want to read more so what can I say.
I'm not really sure how many books will be in this series but the story definitely doesn't feel over.
I gave it 3.5/5 stars

Weddings are hell…
After a month of planning not one, but two, demonic weddings, all Faith Bettincourt—the youngest Crown Princess of Hell—wants is to spend some quality time with her angelic boyfriend, Matt. But when a ghost from Matt’s past walks through Faith’s apartment door, her preoccupation with the weddings from Hell is all that’s keeping her from turning his ex, in all her devious angelic glory, into a down throw pillow.
Which is about when Matt’s zealous mother declares war on Faith’s family.
Now Faith will stop at nothing to stop the craziness and make sure the impending nuptials go off without a hitch. All she’s got to do is rescue one of the grooms and go up against an army of so-called do-gooders, and everything will go back to normal. Or as normal as it can be where the Devil's spawn is concerned. With any luck, she might just be able to resuscitate her love life while she's at it.
DEVIL MAY CARE picks up a short time after the ending of LUCK OF THE DEVIL. Everyone is busy getting ready for two separate weddings when not only someone from Matt's past shows up but someone from Faith's as well. Throw in Matt's Mom and Dad and the whole situation screams trouble.
Faith is a great voice to follow and her life is anything but normal or boring. She does seem to make some pretty dumb choices in book 2 and I really wanted to shake her a few times, but the events played out at a great pace. I still enjoy Matt but wont go more into him for this review. Brenda, WOW she is a piece of work that one. I disliked her instantly and loved everything that came her way. The relationship between Faith and her parents, especially her mother has changed a bit and they seem to get along better. I didn't think that there was as much humor as book 1 held but DEVIL MAY CARE still had me laughing and was still very entertaining. The wedding dress scene had me in hysterics so when that time comes I suggest you use the washroom before preceding or you might just pee yourself laughing so hard. There were quite a bit of heart wrenching emotional moments as well especially towards the end so keep the tissues handy.
I was sad with how things left off, hoping the situation doesn't last long and I will be picking up book 3 when it is available. This has been a fun series so far. You might be able to read DEVIL MAY CARE as a standalone but the first book has a lot of back story and you probably wouldn't want to miss out on it.
I gave it 4/5 stars
