The Blurb:

On the evening of Sofia Claremont's 17th 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?.

My Review:

A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest is a fast paced, short story that introduces us to a new community of vampires. Since it was a short story, I didn't expect to be so quickly and completely swept into it's world, but that's just what happened. The character building was top notch, and I felt like I was really getting to know them as the perspectives changed between Sofia and Derek. Their relationship was addictive, but there was more to the story than that, and this book feels like it's building toward something huge in the world of vampires. A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest is intoxicating, and I enjoyed reading under its influence. I am a fast fan of this series already, in fact my only complaint(if you can even call it one) would be that it was so short. I want more!
