 Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old Lorine Stringfield’s life is about to change forever, and she doesn’t even know it.

Weighted down by the death of her father, her overbearing mother, and the sadness of her little brother, Lorine has less than high hopes for her family’s trip to France. But all of that changes when she is invited to visit the illustrious Château du Jumeaux – a premiere nightclub that only the most privileged attend. Lorine jumps at the chance to do something for herself, but gets more than she bargained for when she discovers the terrible truth: the chateau isn’t a nightclub at all, but a feeding ground for perhaps the most ruthless of beings, the creatures known as vampires.


What I liked:
It captured me right away. It was very catching and made you want to know what happened in the end. What made it better were the characters.
Lorine is easy to relate to. Her relationship with her younger brother, Josh is beautiful. With her mother, on the other hand, it is quite the opposite. She restrains herself from snapping at her or openly disagreing with or arguing with her. She is just like any other girl and that's why I like her even more. I know that people have the tendency to maybe expect rebelling side of character but the truth is that she is behaving in the exact way she is supposed to. I myself would never argue with my parents and rebel. Fact that her looks were not described exactly in the book made her even more likable. Sometimes you find yourself disliking the way someone looks and then you try to overlook the fact whenever it is mentioned in the book. And if you want, you can picture yourself in her place.
I liked as well, that she didn't jump to the chance of going to the party right away. It would seem a bit sill. agreeing to go somewhere with a stranger without any other information.

And Honoré. Hot, sexy, mysterious with French charm and French pet names. Tall, sunset eyes, black white and grey hair. The perfect catch. As you will find out later, the first impressions were quite deceiving. He is exotic and something new. It may come off that he has just one face but you later find out that there is more to him than he just lets on. And you want to know what.
Book is quite mysterious. we do not know how her father died and why Honoré chose her. Neither we know the history and the meaning behind this all.

What I didn't like:
It could have been just a little bit longer, but knowing that there will be more of it makes this fact bearable.

Perks:
This is  a special category. And this story deserves it. The fact that we, readers, can participate is just min-blowing. There is a poll; on the author's website where you can to a certain extent decide the fate of characters.
It is very exciting and new for me.

All in all, the book definitely has a  potential and is very likeble. 26th July is the day of the second part. Let's just say that I can't wait to read more.
